KUALA LUMPUR: Investigations have found that at least seven underground pipes at the site of the landslide at the grounds of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Academy (Maca) here were leaking.
Public Works Department deputy director-general Datuk Zulkipli Nasri said this had caused a large amount of water to flow from the pipes, estimated to be over 40 years old, resulting in a landslide.
"The early indicator from Maca is that their water bill had gone up," he told reporters after a visit by Public Services Department director-general Datuk Dr Zulkapli Mohamed at the location of the landslide here on Thursday . On Wednesday , Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said JKR found leakages in the water piping system at the location of the landslide.
