According to Malaysian police, a terrifying incident occurred in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur. A woman was walking along the pavement in the Dang Wangi area when suddenly, the ground beneath her gave way and she fell into an eight-meter-deep sinkhole. It was a frightening moment for both the victim and those who witnessed it.
Eyewitnesses shared that the woman, who was later identified as a 48-year-old tourist from India, was then swept away by a powerful underground water current. The local police chief, Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, informed the public that the rescue mission was in full force, but as of now, there was still no sign of the victim.
The authorities have blocked off a section of the area and brought in an excavator to clear the debris in the sinkhole. However, there were no updates on the condition of the woman or the cause of the incident. When asked, Sulizmie declined to comment, stating that it was still too early to draw any conclusions.
Meanwhile, the Kuala Lumpur police chief, Rusdi Mohamad Isa, disclosed that the search operation was a delicate one as it involved public infrastructure. He explained that shutting down pipes or drains could potentially cause flooding in the area, so they had to be careful and plan accordingly. "We can't act recklessly," he added.
It was also reported that last year, there was a soil slip in the same location where the sinkhole appeared, but it was immediately fixed. Rusdi revealed that the traders in the area were advised to temporarily close their businesses for safety reasons. The incident had caused quite a stir in the community, and the authorities were doing everything in their power to resolve the situation.
The victim, who had been in Malaysia for a vacation with her husband and friends, was scheduled to return home on Saturday. However, this unfortunate event has put a halt to their plans. As the search and rescue operation continues, the public is urged to be cautious and avoid the affected area.
