The sinkholes beneath our feet

ON July 2, the nation – and particularly residents of Klang Valley – was served with two major events: One, that the suspect in a New Zealand criminal investigation into an alleged burglary and attempted sexual assault was to be sent back to assist in investigations; and Two, that twin massive sinkholes developed along the path of an underground tunnel at the intersection of Jalan Imbi and Jalan Pudu.

The former was greeted with some relief by members of civil society, while the latter is still a developing story with the exact nature of the sinkholes still under investigation.
