Four cars ‘swallowed’ by sinkhole in a blink


PETALING JAYA: Residents of a row of double-storey terrace houses in Taman Wawasan in Puchong, some of whom have been living in the area for over two decades, were dumbfounded after a sizeable sinkhole emerged right opposite their homes.Residents in Jalan Wawasan 3/9 said they did not spot any sign of soil erosion and there were no structural cracks on the road leading to their homes.

That is why it came as such a shock when the landslide occurred late on Saturday following a heavy downpour, “swallowing” four of their cars.
