KUALA LUMPUR (July 19): Part of the road and outer wall of an apartment along Jalan Taman U Thant here collapsed owing to a sinkhole earlier today, reported The Malay Mail.
Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL)’s Skuad Penyelamat, which arrived at the site at about 3.30pm, told the news portal that the incident took place at the road just outside 16 Taman U Thant.
The squad “suspects” the collapse could have been caused by a burst water pipe.
“A part of a private property’s boundary wall had also given way and there is a downed utility pole and trees. The decision was made to close part of the road as it is a safety issue, ” Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Nor Hisham Ahmad Dahlan was reported as saying by The Star.
“Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd teams are also onsite as ground movement has caused a burst water pipe and the supply had to be cut off for mitigation works,” Nor Hisham added.
