A woman falls into a deep hole in Malaysia when the pavement collapses.

According to Malaysian authorities, a woman recently experienced a terrifying ordeal in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. As she was strolling along the pavement in the Dang Wangi area, the ground suddenly gave way beneath her, causing her to plummet into an eight-metre-deep sinkhole. Witnesses reported that she was then swept away by an underground water current, further adding to the alarming situation.

Local police chief Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman shared that the woman, a 48-year-old tourist from India, had been walking when the pavement collapsed. Despite the efforts of rescuers who quickly arrived on the scene, using an excavator to clear the debris in the sinkhole, there was no sign of the victim yet. When questioned about her condition or the cause of the incident, Sulizmie declined to comment.

Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohamad Isa revealed that there was a strong water flow underground, suggesting that the woman may have been swept away by it. He was quoted by the national Bernama news agency stating that the search for her would require careful planning, taking into consideration the public infrastructure. This included the potential risk of flooding if pipes or drains were shut down during the search. He emphasized the importance of not acting recklessly in such a situation.

Rusdi also mentioned that a similar incident had occurred in the same location last year, but it had been successfully fixed. He advised traders in the area to temporarily close their shops for safety reasons. As for the victim, it was reported that she had been on vacation in Malaysia with her husband and friends for the past two months, and they were scheduled to return home on Saturday.

The search for the woman continues, with authorities working diligently to safely locate her. It is a harrowing reminder of the unpredictable nature of the world we live in and the importance of taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety of ourselves and those around us. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and her loved ones during this difficult time.
