The landslide, which occurred yesterday near Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, Kuala Lumpur  is believed to be a result of prolonged heavy rain.

During a site visit by Astro Awani , Alam Flora Sdn Bhd  workers were seen clearing the soil erosion in the area early morning.

The fence, where the soil erosion occured  looks unstable . The  road has been re-opened  for traffic at noon.

Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) confirmed yesterday  the landslide is smaller compared in terms of scale to what have happened  in Putra Heights and Setiawangsa Hill recently.

However  should there be continuous rain,  the land has potential to erode again if actions are not taken immediately.

Meanwhile, Federal Territories and Urban Well-being Minister of Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said that the situation is still under investigation.

“ The forest reserve comes under the jurisdiction of the Forestry Department Peninsular Malaysia. The city hall (DBKL) is merely assisting with the investigation,” he said.

According to DBKL enforcement assistant Zawawe Desan the incident did not involve physical or property damages yesterday.

If there are any incidents of landslide in  Kuala Lumpur , the public can contact the DBKL 24-hour operation room  at 03-40220055.
