SEREMBAN – Some 25 people from five families in Kg Orang Asli Sg Raya here have been left stranded following a landslide that cut off road links to the village.

Negri Sembilan Civil Defense Force director Mohd Nazri Mes Kam said the landslide occurred following heavy rain last night which also resulted in a power outage in the village.

“Currently, the electricity supply has not yet been restored in the village and work is in progress to remove the soil and fallen trees. There are no reports of casualties and the Civil Defence Force team is still monitoring the area,” he said in a statement today.

Meanwhile, in another incident, he said some 60 students and teachers in several schools in Port Dickson were sent to Pekan Linggi and Permatang Pasir Mosque at about 11am today due to flash floods which left several roads underwater.

He said the situation forced the affected schools to close early and students and teachers were moved to higher ground to avoid being stranded.

“However, the rain has subsided and the weather is getting brighter,” he said. – Bernama, November 17, 2022
