RESIDENTS have been urged to stay cautious following a rockfall near Mutiara Court Apartments in Taman Bukit Permai, Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, yesterday.
District police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail said the incident was first reported to the Pandan Indah police station at about 10.45am.
"Preliminary investigations revealed that several large rocks had fallen from the slope onto the parking area, damaging six vehicles.
"Five vehicles were successfully removed, while one Perodua Kancil was completely destroyed.
"No casualties were reported," he said in a statement.
The affected rocky slope, about 30 metres tall, lies some 20 metres from the apartment’s Block 3.
MPAJ said its engineering team determined that the rockfall resulted from a “wedge failure” at around 12 metres above road level.
The council said it will soon replace the damaged netting and remove wild vegetation to prevent further instability,while a detailed slope stabilisation and geological mapping study will be conducted soon
Residents have been told not to park near the slope and to report any early warning signs of falling rocks to MPAJ’s emergency line. - November 4, 2025
