SHAH ALAM, Nov 10 — Eight families affected by a landslide along Jalan Jasmin 21 in Taman Jasmin, Kajang, have been allowed to return home after officials confirmed the structures were safe.
Kajang state assemblyman David Cheong said this was conveyed during a dialogue session this morning between the affected residents and the Kajang Municipal Council’s (MPKj) Engineering Department.
"The residents are allowed to return to their homes because the residential structures remain safe," he told Media Selangor.
Cheong added that MPKj will promptly carry out repair work at the landslide site, which is expected to take at least three months.
However, the specific repair method will be determined based on the findings of a soil condition investigation conducted by consultants.
"MPKj will immediately begin repair work. At the earliest, this work could be completed within three months," he said.
Earlier, Cheong and MPKj Zone 15 Councillor Ong Seng Peng inspected the site to assess the condition of the affected area and the situation faced by the residents.
He also assured that he will continue to monitor developments and stay in touch with the relevant authorities and agencies to ensure follow-up actions receive appropriate attention.
On Sunday (November 8), residents of eight houses in Taman Jasmin were advised to relocate temporarily as a precaution after a landslide occurred at 7pm.
Bangi MP Syahredzan Johan said the incident, which took place during heavy rain, caused a portion of the slope behind the residents' homes to collapse; however, no injuries or damage to the houses were reported.
