KUALA LUMPUR: Residents of Taman Melawati have expressed concerns over a series of landslides occurring in their residential area, following the landslide on Jalan E6 on Tuesday.

Taman Melawati Residents Association Kuala Lumpur chairman, Azhari Abd Taharim, said several slopes in the neighbourhood have been identified as at risk of similar incidents if swift action is not taken by the relevant authorities.

He said that the hillside along Jalan Kolam Air, Jalan G1, G2, and the main road of the neighbourhood are among the areas that residents have identified as potential landslide zones.

However, Azhari said they are waiting for the Ampang Jaya Municipal (MPAJ) Local Plan Study 2035, which is scheduled to be published this Sunday, to see whether the 'hotspots' they have identified are included in the study.
