Set up high-level committee to identify cause of sinkholes, says Lam Thye

KUALA LUMPUR: A thorough investigation by a high-level committee must be conducted to identify the causes of sinkholes and remedial steps to ensure no repeat of such occurrences, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

The Alliance for a Safe Community chairman said the latest incident where a woman was swallowed up by a sinkhole on Jalan Masjid India in Kuala Lumpur has sent chills down the spine of residents and tourists but sadly it was not the first time that a sinkhole occurred in the city.
