AMPANG JAYA: Authorities are covering the exposed hillside with a large sheet following the landslide at Taman Melawati, Ampang to prevent further erosion, say police.

Ampang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Azam Ismail said sheet measures 30mx20m and will be used after it was found there was still soil movement caused by continuous rain, which could cause further collapse.
