According to Malaysian police, a woman had a frightening experience when she fell into a sinkhole that was eight meters deep in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. It all started when she was walking along the pavement in the Dang Wangi area, as per eyewitness accounts. Suddenly, the ground gave way and she disappeared into the sinkhole. It was a terrifying moment for everyone around.
It is believed that the woman was swept away by an underground water current after falling into the sinkhole. The local police chief, Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, shared that they have identified her as a 48-year-old tourist from India. Rescue efforts were immediately put into action, with a part of the area being barricaded and an excavator being used to clear the debris. However, there was still no sign of the victim.
When asked about the condition of the woman or the cause of the incident, Sulizmie declined to comment. On the other hand, Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohamad Isa mentioned that there was a strong water flow underground which could have swept the woman away. He also added that the search operation needed to be carefully planned due to its potential impact on public infrastructure. For instance, if pipes or drains were shut down, it could cause flooding in the area. Rusdi emphasized the importance of not acting recklessly in such a situation.
According to Rusdi, there was a similar incident last year in the same location where the sinkhole appeared, but it was fixed. He also mentioned that traders in the area have been advised to temporarily close their businesses for safety reasons. As for the woman, she had come to Malaysia with her husband and friends for a vacation two months ago and was due to return home on Saturday. It was a tragic and unexpected turn of events for her and her loved ones.
The authorities are doing their best to locate and rescue the woman, while also ensuring the safety of the public and the surrounding infrastructure. As the search continues, our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and her family. Let us all hope for a safe and swift resolution to this terrifying incident.
