According to Malaysian authorities, a woman was walking in the bustling city centre of Kuala Lumpur when she suddenly fell into a deep sinkhole that had opened up on the pavement. It is believed that she may have been swept away by an underground water current shortly after. The incident occurred in the Dang Wangi area, and the local police chief, Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, stated that eyewitnesses reported seeing the woman walking along the pavement before the ground gave way beneath her.
The victim has been identified as a 48-year-old tourist from India who was visiting Kuala Lumpur with her husband and friends. Despite efforts from rescuers, who barricaded the area and used an excavator to clear the debris, the woman has yet to be found. When questioned about the victim's condition and the cause of the incident, Sulizmie declined to comment. It is believed that the strong underground water flow may have contributed to the woman's disappearance, according to Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohamad Isa.
Rusdi explained to the national Bernama news agency that the ongoing search for the missing woman requires careful planning due to the involvement of public infrastructure. Shutting down pipes or drains to aid in the search could potentially cause flooding in the area, so caution must be exercised. "We can't act recklessly," Rusdi emphasized. He also mentioned that a similar incident had occurred in the same location last year, but it was promptly fixed.
The safety of the public is of utmost importance, and as a precaution, traders in the area have been advised to temporarily close their shops. It is a sad and unexpected turn of events for the woman and her loved ones, as they were supposed to return home from their two-month vacation on Saturday. The authorities continue to work diligently to locate the missing woman and ensure the safety of the public.
