PETALING JAYA: The deadly Batang Kali landslide tragedy that occurred last year was triggered by a significant rainfall event, not due to anthropogenic (as a result of human influence) activity, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Deputy Prime Minister, who chaired the Central Disaster Management Committee said the investigation into the tragedy found that it was caused by major cumulative rainfall over a period of five days before the landslide occurred.
