The day the earth moved


Lost souls: The site for a project to build affordable apartments turned deadly when a landslide buried 11 workers including site supervisor Yuan Kuok Wern, 27, whose body was among the last to be recovered.

The blame game over the tragic Penang landslide started even before the first body was recovered while a polemic debate about the tragedy is still rippling through social media. 

THE last two bodies were recovered on Monday morning, two days after the hillside in Tanjung Bungah came down on a group of workers who were, ironically, trying to stabilise the ground.
