Call for more landslide early warning systems in Cameron Highlands
💡 5 Intipati Utama Keperluan Sistem Amaran Awal
- Pihak berkuasa menekankan keperluan menambah sistem amaran awal bagi mengesan pergerakan tanah dan melindungi penduduk kawasan berbukit.
- Beberapa lokasi termasuk Puncak Arabella masih tidak dilengkapi sistem pemantauan walaupun berada pada cerun yang berisiko tinggi.
- Kerajaan berhasrat mempergiat pemasangan sistem baharu untuk memastikan keselamatan cerun di seluruh kawasan tanah tinggi Cameron Highlands.
- JKR dan agensi berkaitan telah menjalankan kajian untuk mengenal pasti kawasan kritikal di laluan persekutuan dan negeri yang memerlukan pemantauan tambahan.
- Siasatan terhadap punca tanah runtuh sedang dijalankan sebelum keputusan dibuat mengenai keselamatan penduduk terjejas untuk pulang ke rumah.
Sebagai agensi pakar geologi negara, Jabatan Mineral dan Geosains Malaysia (JMG) memainkan peranan penting dalam menilai kestabilan cerun, menyediakan analisis geoteknikal, dan menyokong tindakan mitigasi bagi menjamin keselamatan awam.

CAMERON HIGHLANDS: More early warning systems, particularly for residents living near hilly areas, are needed to detect land movement and ensure public safety.
Tanah Rata assemblyman Ho Chi Yang said the government had installed Early Warning Systems on high-risk slopes, but some locations, including the Puncak Arabella Apartments area, still did not have such systems.
"The government has installed Early Warning Systems, especially on high-risk slopes.
"But we also recognise that the entire Cameron Highlands is a highland area, so some places still do not have these systems.
"It is indeed our plan to intensify efforts to add more systems to detect land movement and ensure that the slopes in Cameron Highlands are safe," he said at a press conference after visiting five families affected by the landslide that hit Puncak Arabella Apartments.
When asked about suggestions to expand the system to hilly residential areas, Ho said the Public Works Department (PWD) and other agencies had conducted studies on the matter.
"There's a suggestion to expand the Early Warning System, considering that new areas (residential areas) now also seem at risk.
"PWD and other agencies have conducted studies, particularly on federal and state roads, and have identified high-risk areas.
"But as I said, Cameron Highlands is a large area, so all government agencies will continue to intensify efforts to add more systems," he said.
When asked how many Early Warning Systems had been installed in Tanah Rata, Ho said he did not have the exact figure.
Regarding the cause of the landslide, Ho said investigations were ongoing by the Public Works Department and the Minerals and Geoscience Department to determine slope stability.
"We need to wait for the results before we can decide whether residents can return to their homes," he added.
It was reported yesterday that hundreds of residents of the Puncak Arabella Apartments had been cut off after a landslide blocked the main road leading to the premises.
The landslide, which occurred at around 8.30pm yesterday, triggered an earth shift along the slope, blocking access to the apartment units.
The incident, believed to have been caused by continuous heavy rain in the popular tourist destination, involved a 30-metre-high slope.
