A woman falls into a deep hole in Malaysia when the pavement gives way.
According to Malaysian authorities, a woman recently had a terrifying experience in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur. While walking in the Dang Wangi area, the unsuspecting woman suddenly fell into a deep sinkhole that opened up on the pavement. Witnesses reported that she disappeared into an underground water current, leaving rescuers scrambling to find her.

The incident occurred when the woman, a 48-year-old tourist from India, was strolling along the sidewalk. Without warning, the ground gave way beneath her and she tumbled into the eight-metre-deep sinkhole. The local police chief, Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, shared that eyewitness accounts revealed that the woman was simply going about her day when the pavement collapsed beneath her feet.

Despite the efforts of the rescue team, the woman has yet to be found. Part of the area has been cordoned off to ensure the safety of others, and an excavator has been brought in to clear the debris in the sinkhole. However, there has been no sign of the victim so far. When asked about the condition of the woman or the cause of the incident, Sulizmie declined to comment.

Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur's police chief, Rusdi Mohamad Isa, revealed that there is a powerful water flow underground, which could have swept the woman away. He was quoted by the national news agency, Bernama, stating that the search for the woman requires careful planning due to the involvement of public infrastructure. He warned that shutting down pipes or drains in the area could lead to flooding, so they must proceed with caution.

Rusdi also mentioned that a similar incident had occurred in the same location last year, but it was promptly fixed. He added that traders in the area have been advised to temporarily close their businesses for safety reasons. According to Rusdi, the woman was on vacation in Malaysia with her husband and friends, and they were scheduled to return home the following Saturday. The authorities are determined to find the woman and bring closure to this frightening ordeal.
