CYBERJAYA – It was a nerve wrecking ordeal for an Indonesian worker when half of his body was buried in a landslide incident at Laman View here this afternoon.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department director Norazam Khamis said at the time of the incident, the victim, Samsul Maarif, 43, was carrying out pipe repair works in a 3.04m deep hole.
