00:00This is the second PC to update on the development of the landslide situation in this Malawati Park.

00:10So, for your information, we have had a discussion with all government agencies involved,

00:21such as the Land Authority of Kumbak, MPAJ, Bomba and JKR, and also the Mineral Authority of Gallean Selangor.

00:35So, our findings are that there is still land movement in the area of Bukit Terbabit.

00:47So, in connection with that, a few actions have been taken.

00:52Firstly, MPAJ will place a plastic canvas along the slope related to the landslide

01:02to avoid flooding worse, given that it is still raining heavily at this time.

01:10So, with the hope that by placing this plastic canvas, we can reduce the land movement.

01:18So, in connection with that, the second action is that we have also advised the residents along the I-6 road

01:28to avoid entering their homes today.

01:38So, the third thing is that all residents who are affected by this incident have moved to a new location,

01:51which is the one that we have provided at JKP Zone 1, close to the area of the incident.

01:59Meanwhile, the rest of the residents who do not want to stay in crowded areas,

02:04they will stay at their relatives' houses or hotels nearby.

02:08So, so far, there are still 33 individuals from 11 families in our record.

02:17The third thing is that JMG and JKR will conduct another study tomorrow

02:26to finalise the next steps that will be taken.
