KOTA KINABALU: A woman and her teenage daughter survived after a landslide crushed their home in Kampung Kopungit, Kepayan in Sabah, late on Saturday (Sept 13) night.

The incident occurred at about 8.45pm when the house shook violently after a loud thud, before sliding downwards and collapsing entirely. Molly Antutu, 42, recalled the terrifying moment as she clutched her 14-year-old daughter, Syamimi, thinking it would be their last.
