MELAKA – The report on the landslide tragedy in Batang Kali last December is ready, said Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.

However, he said the report has yet to be presented to the cabinet as it is still awaiting feedback from the Selangor government.

He said a report and comments from the relevant state agencies were required as the incident involved a state road.

“At the (Public Works Department, PWD) level, our part has been completed. I hope the Selangor government will provide their comments as soon as possible so that the report can be brought to the cabinet meeting,” he told reporters after officiating at the Malaysia PWD Senior Officials Conference here today.

Also present were Public Works Director-General Datuk Ahmad Redza Ghulam Rasool and state PWD Director Datuk Ismail Abd Rahman.

Nanta previously said that the report on the landslide tragedy on December 16 last year was expected to be completed at the end of June before being presented to the cabinet to enable further action to be taken by all parties involved.

The landslide at the Father’s Organic Farm in Jalan Genting, Batang Kali claimed the lives of 18 adults and 13 children, while 61 others survived. – Bernama, July 11, 2023
