MB urges families affected by soil erosion to move out


KLANG: Menteri Besar Azmin Ali has urged the remaining families living on Jalan Plumbum 7/101A in Section 7, Shah Alam to move out of their homes.

“Their safety is paramount for the state government,” said Azmin after the official opening of the GM Klang Wholesale City today.

Azmin said he also wanted the Shah Alam Municipal Council and the district officer to persuade the families to relocate the soonest possible.

Families flee homes as wall falls

SHAH ALAM: An entire row of homes in Seksyen 7 here has been declared a “disaster zone” and a dozen families have been ordered to evacuate the area after a landslip triggered massive craters in the ground.

Measuring up to half a metre, the holes appeared behind the row of homes in Jalan Plumbum 7/101 as a 100m-long retaining wall toppled over, resulting in cracks appearing in the houses.

Fearful residents who packed up and left to stay in a hotel spoke of the earth moving under their feet and the sound of water gushing under their floors.

Housewife Marziah Mahmud, whose house was the worst-hit, said she felt movements on the floor and heard the sound of water underneath it during a downpour two days ago.

The place was declared a “disaster zone” by Petaling District Officer Datuk Mohd Misri Idris at about 10pm on Thursday.

Marziah said this wasn’t the first time residents felt unsafe.

“We’ve been threatened by a sinking ground since 2012,” she said, adding that the Residents Association had even taken legal action and discussed compensation with the developer and the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS).

Marziah, who has been living with her parents, husband and three children at the double-storey house since 2008, said many residents were unhappy with PKNS’ offer of compensation.

“PKNS should factor in the future values of our properties when offering us total buyout or temporary rental options. We are literally forced to move out.

“It is really upsetting that the houses got worse,” she added.
