According to Malaysian police, a woman had a terrifying experience in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur when she suddenly fell into a deep, eight-meter sinkhole. The incident occurred in the Dang Wangi area and eyewitnesses reported that the woman was simply walking along the pavement when the ground beneath her gave way.
The local police chief, Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, stated that the woman was then believed to have been carried away by an underground water current. It was a frightening situation, and the rescuers acted quickly by barricading the area and using an excavator to clear the debris from the sinkhole. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the victim yet and her identity was only revealed as a 48-year-old tourist from India.
As the search continued, there were concerns about the possible condition of the woman and the cause of the incident. However, when Sulizmie was asked for more details, he declined to comment. On the other hand, the police chief of Kuala Lumpur, Rusdi Mohamad Isa, revealed that there was a significant water flow underground and that it was likely the reason for the woman's disappearance.
Rusdi also mentioned that the search operation had to be carefully planned due to the involvement of public infrastructure. He explained that shutting down pipes or drains could potentially cause flooding in the area, so they had to proceed cautiously. He stressed that they couldn't act recklessly in such a delicate situation.
Interestingly, it was reported that there had been a similar incident last year in the same location where the sinkhole appeared. However, it had been fixed at the time. Rusdi also advised traders in the area to temporarily close their businesses for safety reasons.
The victim, who had been on vacation with her husband and friends for about two months, was scheduled to return home on Saturday. It was a tragic turn of events for the tourist and her loved ones. The search for the woman continued as the authorities hoped for a positive outcome.
