Kuala Lumpur: 21 people lost their lives in a landslide in the tourist campsite area on the outskirts of Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur late on Thursday (December 15). Officials have said that 12 other people are feared to be buried under the debris. The chief of the fire department has informed that the bodies of 2 of the dead were found in an 'embraced state' and these are being told as the bodies of mother and daughter.
District police chief Sufien Abdullah has informed that the landslide occurred at the 'campsite' in Batang Kali, Central Selangor, about 50 km from Kuala Lumpur, where more than 90 people were present. He said that people were sleeping at the time of the incident and at the same time mud fell on the tourist spot from a road about 30 meters high from the 'campsite' and about 3 acres of land came under its grip. Abdullah told that 7 people were admitted to the hospital and dozens of people were saved safely.
Officials have informed local media that the landowners did not have a license to operate the 'campsite'. Let us tell you that, a 'campsite' is a place where people put up tents to spend time. Such places are extremely popular among the local people. Leong Jim Meng said he and his family woke up after a loud explosion and felt the earth shake in the 'campsite' area. He said, 'My family and I were trapped as mud covered our tent. We managed to escape to a car parking area and then heard another landslide.'
