AMPANG Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) is monitoring high-risk slopes in the municipality following a landslide in Taman Melawati, Selangor, on Tuesday.
An MPAJ spokesperson said areas under increased supervision included Taman Bukit Permai, Ukay Perdana and Bukit Antarabangsa.
“Several technical meetings have been taking place to beef up supervision and take proactive measures even before the Taman Melawati incident happened.
“We are also working with KDEB Waste Management to clean up public drains,” he said.
The spokesperson added that constant monitoring and maintenance had been carried out on slopes under MPAJ’s purview.
Yesterday, Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said more than 600 locations in Ampang were identified as at risk.
He said the landslide at Jalan Serdang, Taman Melawati, was one of 114 high-risk “hotspot” areas identified by MPAJ.
“Some 400 sites are classified as moderate risk. But there are 114 serious ones including this location,” he said after a site visit.
He called on landowners to be proactive concerning their land.
“In this case, the landowner has been issued a notice to maintain the road and drains,” said Amirudin, adding that the landslide was not due to overdevelopment but could have been caused by lack of infrastructure maintenance.
His statement comes following earlier reports stating that the Taman Melawati landslide could have been triggered by clogged drainage at the top of the slope.
Amirudin said an overflow of water gushing from the hillside was caused by blocked drains filled with rocks and soil.
“We estimate the overflow has been occurring for a while, not just recently,” he said.
“Yesterday’s (Tuesday) overflow was rather unusual and extensive.
“The entire area, including the drains, is still under the developer or landowner’s supervision and we have issued the necessary notices to relevant parties to maintain the land and drainage.
“I was informed that the area is used as a jogging track, so we have temporarily sealed off the location until the Mineral and Geoscience Department confirms the land is safe and stable.”
Amirudin reminded local authorities to respond immediately to complaints received, especially at high-risk areas.
“When a report is received, check the land status. If it is privately owned land, the owner must be informed to take the necessary steps,” he said.
“I want to clarify that the lands affected are privately owned and have been registered for a long time, with no developments on the landslide site itself.
“However, there is an ongoing development project above the landslide area.
“From now, responsibility for slope maintenance and related matters must fall on respective landowners,” he added.
The landslide forced the evacuation of 20 residents in Jalan E6 which faces Jalan Serdang.
As of 2pm yesterday, residents have not been allowed home.
The Ampang area has seen several high-profile landslide incidents over the past few years.
In March 2022, four people died when slope failure led to a massive landslide in Taman Bukit Permai 2, Ampang.
Fifteen houses and 10 vehicles were also damaged.
In January 2023, Selangor government said the 15 houses were found unsafe and residents were told to vacate their homes.
GOMBAK: Residents who had to evacuate their homes for safety after the landslide that hit Taman Melawati are hopeful that they will be able to go home soon.
Having spent two days at a temporary shelter at a community hall nearby, they said they were thankful that the authorities had been taking good care of them.
Hasnah Said, 45, who has been living on Jalan E6 for six years, said she and her husband decided to evacuate on the day of the incident for her young children’s safety.
“We had to quickly grab our belongings and leave, and our children did not make it to school on Tuesday.
“But I’m glad that no one is injured in the landslide,” she said when met here yesterday.
Despite the unexpected upheaval, Hasnah felt grateful for the support and resources rendered by the authorities.
“The evacuation centre provided comfort and privacy and met our immediate needs.
“This is an extraordinary experience for our family,” said Hasnah, who recalled her family’s harrowing experience of being trapped in a mosque for a week with no food and water during a massive flood in 2014.
Yesterday, Hasnah and her family managed to return briefly to their home to collect essential items.
While she hoped to return permanently soon, what she wanted more than anything was the assurance of a safe place to live for her family.
“There have been concerns about the development of new housing units along other nearby roads, which are on the sloped hill.
“They look dangerous, but we can’t do much, as the area is private land.
“There should be stricter controls on hillside development to prevent any untoward incidents in the long term,” she said.
Another resident who only wanted to be known as Mat concurred, claiming that there are several abandoned bungalow projects and ongoing ones around the hillside in the area.
“I have been living here for many years, and I see more hillside bungalows being built. They just don’t look safe to me. I think this should stop,” he said.
Finance executive Jason Ng, 25, who evacuated with his mother and younger sister, said they did so for safety sake, as advised by the Public Works Department and Ampang Jaya Municipal Council.
He said he was hopeful that the authorities would find a permanent solution to the environmental issue after the technical and coordination meeting scheduled for tomorrow.
“Our family has been living here for more than two decades; this is the first time we encountered a landslide near our home,” he said.
Like other residents there, Ng hopes to be able to go home soon but wants the state government to be strict about approving hillside development and prioritise public safety.
“We can see many big bungalows built on the slope between Jalan E1 and Jalan E4; it’s dangerous, not forgetting the abandoned ones too.
“We can only hope that the authorities will conduct due diligence to ensure safety before approving any such projects in the future,” he added.
The landslide, which occurred on Tuesday at about 10am amid heavy rain, affected four homes, causing 33 residents to temporarily move out of the housing area on Jalan E6.
They have not yet received word on when they can return home.
GEORGE TOWN - Tiada mendapan baharu berlaku di Taman Sri Nibong, di sini susulan insiden lubang benam di kawasan itu pada Rabu.
Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Pantai Jerejak, Fahmi Zainol berkata, setakat ini, kawasan berlaku lubang benam sahaja disahkan tidak selamat dan telah ditutup untuk kegunaan orang awam.
Menurutnya, walaupun lubang tersebut berkeluasan 10 meter dengan kedalaman 10 meter, ia tidak menyebabkan kawasan lain turut terjejas.
"Laporan yang diterima daripada Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) mengesahkan tiada kebocoran paip lain berlaku di kawasan sekitar dan disahkan selamat. Hanya kawasan yang berlaku lubang benam tidak selamat.
"Memang tiada masalah lain seperti rekahan atau mendapan di kawasan lain malah kita pun tidak menerima aduan lain daripada penduduk sekitar.
"Bagaimanapun, pihak IWK akan sentiasa membuat pemantauan bagi memastikan hakisan akibat daripada kebocoran paip tidak merebak di kawasan lain," katanya pada sidang akhbar di pejabatnya di Komtar pada Khamis.
Pada Rabu, kebocoran paip IWK dipercayai punca kepada berlakunya lubang benam di Taman Sri Nibong, Pantai Jerejak.
KUALA LUMPUR, 16 Okt (Bernama) -- Jabatan Mineral dan Geosains (JMG) telah mula menjalankan siasatan terperinci di kawasan kejadian tanah runtuh di Jalan E6, Taman Melawati pada pukul 10 pagi tadi, bagi memastikan kawasan berkenaan benar-benar selamat, kata Menteri Besar Selangor Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.
Beliau berkata struktur tanah di sekitar kawasan berkenaan perlu dijamin selamat sebelum penduduk dibenarkan balik ke kediaman masing-masing, dan beliau menjangka siasatan itu mungkin mengambil masa sehari dua lagi.
Pada masa yang sama beliau memaklumkan kejadian gelonsoran tanah yang berlaku pagi semalam bukannya disebabkan oleh pembangunan berlebihan di kawasan itu seperti yang didakwa oleh sesetengah penduduk,
"Tempat berlaku gelonsoran adalah tanah hak milik swasta yang didaftar sekian lama dan tidak ada sebarang pembangunan di tempat gelonsoran, tetapi di atas tempat gelonsoran 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.
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).
Beliau berkata tumpuan utama ketika ini adalah kerja-kerja memperbaiki kawasan yang terjejas serta menjaga keselamatan penduduk.
Semalam, hujan lebat berterusan telah menyebabkan berlaku kejadian tanah runtuh di sepanjang Jalan E6 di Taman Melawati di sini, yang menyebabkan polis mengarahkan penduduk di 20 buah rumah berhampiran kawasan kejadian untuk berpindah dari kediaman mereka atas faktor keselamatan.
Ketika ini 23 mangsa daripada tujuh keluarga berlindung di Pusat Pemindahan Sementara Mangsa Bencana di Jalan E5, Taman Melawati.
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).
Sementara itu beliau mengingatkan penduduk Selangor yang tinggal di kawasan pesisir pantai supaya bersiap siaga menjelang fenomena air pasang besar yang dijangka berlaku pada 18 Okt hingga 20 Okt ini.
Beliau berkata kejadian itu berisiko menyebabkan kejadian banjir terutama di kawasan pantai dari Klang hingga Sabak Bernam.
"Sebagai langkah siap siaga, kita juga akan membina ban sementara di kawasan yang belum siap dibina ban. Kita juga akan mengaktifkan bilik gerakan daerah 24 jam dengan pusat gerakan peringkat negeri yang akan mula beroperasi pada 12 tengah malam ini," katanya.
