KUALA LUMPUR, Sat:

Four people were killed and more than eight others are feared buried in a landslide early today in Bukit Antarabangsa, Hulu Klang, near here. The landslide, which is believed to have buried 14 bungalows in Taman Bukit Mewah and Taman Bukit Utama, occurred at about 4am.

Three of the four killed are women, according to Red Crescent personnel at the scene. About 15 injured people have been sent to Kuala Lumpur Hospital.



The landslide has cut off the access road to the residential area, trapping hundreds of people at Bukit Antarabangsa.

Eight of the bungalows affected are in Taman Bukit Utama and the other six in Taman Bukit Mewah, said a spokesman of the Fire and Rescue Unit at the scene.

KUALA LUMPUR: More than 300 people were forced to evacuate two buildings when a landslide caused part of the retaining wall of a car park to collapse in Jalan Semantan here.

Heavy rain from 3pm yesterday had caused soil erosion at an adjacent hill, resulting in the landslide which rendered buildings on either side of the collapsed wall - CIMB Commerce Square and Amanah Raya - unsafe.

Six cars were buried in the landslide while five other vehicles were damaged.

HULU SELANGOR Nov 30 (Bernama) : Two sisters were buried alive after a landslide crashed on their bungalow at Lot 110, Jalan Belinda 1, Ulu Yam Perdana early Sunday.

Noratirah Roslan, 16, and Nurul Intan Sarina Roslan, 9, were sleeping in their room when the hillside at the back of their house collapsed, sending tonnes of rubble and soil crashing down on the single-storey house at about 5.30am.

The rescuers, comprising police, Smart, Fire and Rescue Department and Civil Defence Department personnel retrieved Noratirah's body at 12.55pm.

Nurul Intan Sarina's body had not been taken out from the rubble yet.
