The area has been cordoned off by Kuala Lumpur City Hall.
KUALA LUMPUR – A second sinkhole has appeared in Kuala Lumpur’s Jalan Masjid India – just 50m from where the ground opened up on Aug 23 and swallowed an Indian tourist – heightening fears about the safety of the popular area.
On Aug 28, the entire street was cordoned off for all vehicles and the public, compared to the previous day, when the police had only cordoned off an area of roughly 500 metres around the original sinkhole. He was seen pausing at a location between the original sinkhole and 10 metres from the new one for a few minutes before stomping on the ground and jumping up and down, as if to test the integrity of the cobbled pavement.
“We have taken quick action, together with Indah Water Konsortium , to inspect the sewerage pipe at the location and its surrounding areas,” said the statement.
