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.

"All these hotspots could lead to another landslide if swift action is not taken by the authorities," Azhari told the New Straits Times. He expressed hope that the report would be made public by MPAJ.

He also hoped that proper terraces, slope walls, or retaining walls could be built around these 'hotspots' to provide a more secure structure along the hillside of the area.

Azhari also urged the authorities to ensure proper maintenance of the drainage systems around the neighbourhood, in addition to upgrading the current system.

"We have lived here for over 30 years, and this (landslide) is the worst. We will feel safe as long as maintenance is carried out by the authorities; this wouldn't have happened," he said.

On Tuesday, continuous heavy rain in the morning triggered a landslide along Jalan E6 in Taman Melawati.

Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said Jalan E6 had been identified as one of 114 landslide-prone hotspots in Ampang Jaya.

He explained that a clogged drain at the top of a hill in Taman Melawati caused the landslide, as overflowing water from the drain triggered a landslip that led to the landslide.

He added that the overflow had been an ongoing issue for several days before the incident.

AMPANG: 

The public works department (JKR) has activated its disaster operations room (BigBen) to monitor 3,200 dangerous slopes, deputy works minister Ahmad Maslan said.

Ahmad said the decision to activate BigBen, was a proactive step in view of the Northeast Monsoon which is expected to hit next month.

We will be working around the clock to provide early warnings, especially when it comes to slopes near residential areas, government buildings and schools,

 he told reporters after visiting the site of a landslide along Jalan E6, Taman Melawati.

Ahmad said about 27,000 slopes nationwide are being monitored. Of the figure, 10,000 are located near residential areas and schools.

On the landslide in Taman Melawati, Ahmad said JKR had taken three immediate steps, namely cleaning the debris, pruning the trees, and rerouting the waterways as well as covering the slopes.

The Ampang Jaya Municipal Council will be engaging the developer which owns the land this Friday for a long-term solution.

Yesterday’s downpour led to a landslide at the junction between Jalan Serdang and Jalan E6 Taman Melawati, which cut off access to some 20 houses.

No casualties were reported, although the landslide damaged a car and toppled a guardhouse. The affected residents were told to move to a multipurpose hall at Jalan E5 Taman Melawati.

Works minister Alexander Nanta Linggi had blamed the landslide on a blocked drainage system in Jalan G2.

AMPANG JAYA: Menteri Besar Selangor Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, menafikan kejadian tanah runtuh di Jalan E6 Taman Melawati, semalam, berpunca daripada pembangunan berlebihan di kawasan itu seperti yang didakwa sesetengah penduduk.
 
"Tempat berlaku gelongsoran adalah tanah milik swasta yang didaftar sekian lama dan tidak ada sebarang pembangunan di tempat gelongsoran itu... tetapi di atas tempat gelongsoran ada projek pembangunan yang sedang dilakukan.
"Kawasan itu masih belum siap sepenuhnya. Ia bukan pembangunan high density, tapi lebih kepada lot banglo," katanya ketika ditemui semasa menyantuni penduduk terjejas di pusat pemindahan sementara mangsa bencana Taman Melawati, di sini, hari ini.
 
Mengulas lanjut, Amirudin berkata kerajaan negeri telah mengeluarkan kebenaran merancang (KM) kepada pemaju di kawasan berkenaan 10 tahun lepas dan pihak pemaju telah pun mendapat kelulusan daripada Jawatankuasa Teknikal bagi Pembangunan di Kawasan Sensitif Alam Sekitar (KSAS).
 
Dalam pada itu, beliau berkata, Jabatan Mineral dan Geosains (JMG) telah mula menjalankan siasatan terperinci di kawasan kejadian bagi memastikan kawasan berkenaan benar-benar selamat.
 
Beliau berkata, struktur tanah di sekitar kawasan berkenaan perlu dijamin selamat sebelum penduduk dibenarkan balik ke kediaman masing-masing.
Dalam kejadian pagi semalam, hujan lebat selama beberapa jam telah menyebabkan tanah runtuh di sepanjang Jalan E6, namun tiada kemalangan jiwa dilaporkan.
 
Susulan itu, polis mengarahkan penduduk di 20 buah rumah berhampiran kawasan kejadian untuk berpindah untuk sementara waktu atas faktor keselamatan.
Amirudin berkata mereka yang terjejas dengan kejadian itu akan menerima bantuan RM500 daripada Pejabat Tanah dan Daerah selain bantuan daripada pusat khidmat kawasan dewan undangan negeri (DUN).

AMPANG: Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Mineral dan Geosains (JMG), Datuk Zamri Ramli mengesahkan tiada pergerakan tanah berlaku di kawasan runtuhan di Taman Melawati di sini.

Jelasnya, pemantauan telah dilakukan kira-kira dua jam di sekitar kawasan runtuhan sejak pagi tadi.

“Daripada pemerhatian kami pemeriksaan yang kita buat dalam dua jam, kita tengok semua tempat tiada pergerakan tanah berlaku, jadi kita beri tumpuan kepada mitigasi,” katanya.

Jelas Zamri lagi, selain tanah di bahagian atas, di bawah kawasan lereng bukit itu terkandung batuan jenis metamorfik jenis ‘schist’ dan bukannya batu kapur seperti didakwa.

“Yang ni dipanggil batuan schist, iaitu batuan jenis metamorfik dia bukan batu kapur dan bukan batuan jenis granite,” ujarnya.

Dalam pada itu, kerja-kerja pemakuan tanah akan dilakukan di lokasi kejadian bagi mengurangkan risiko kejadian tanah runtuh berulang di tempat sama.

“Proses pemakuan tanah akan dilakukan dan kerja pembaikan cerun akan mengambil masa,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian dalam sidang media di lokasi tanah runtuh Taman Melawati di sini hari ini.
