KUALA LUMPUR: At least 76 people were evacuated following a landslide that destroyed a guard post at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Academy (Maca) here.
The two areas in Persiaran Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin here have been temporarily closed pending inspection by slope experts.
In a statement, MACC said the building would remain off limits until the affected area was declared safe. It urged the public to refrain from speculating on the issue and to allow the authorities to investigate the incident to identify the cause of the landslide. Sentul OCPD Asst Comm Beh Eng Lai said the Public Works Department’s slope forensic unit found that the stagnant water outside the entrance was possibly due to heavy rain over the past three days.
