KUCHING: The sinkhole incident on Jalan Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur, was caused by geographical and soil structure factors, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
He explained that the limestone soil composition in the area disrupts the flow of underground water, leading to soil instability and ultimately resulting in the formation of the sinkhole.
