Malaysian woman falls into 8m-deep hole when pavement collapses.
According to Malaysian police, a terrifying incident occurred in the heart of Kuala Lumpur when a woman fell into a sinkhole that was eight meters deep. It seems that the pavement gave way, causing her to plunge into the ground. To make matters worse, she was then swept away by an underground water current. The incident took place in the Dang Wangi area, and the local police chief, Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, stated that eyewitnesses reported the woman was simply walking along the pavement when the ground suddenly collapsed beneath her.

As the news of the incident spread, many were left wondering about the woman's well-being. It was later revealed that she was a 48-year-old tourist from India. The rescue team immediately sprang into action, barricading the area and using an excavator to clear the debris in the sinkhole. However, despite their efforts, there was still no sign of the victim. When asked about the possible condition of the woman or the cause of the accident, Sulizmie declined to comment.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohamad Isa shared some insights into the situation, stating that there was a strong water flow underground that may have swept the woman away. He was quoted by the national news agency, Bernama, saying that the search had to be carefully planned due to the involvement of public infrastructure. He even mentioned the potential risks of shutting down pipes or drains, which could result in flooding in the area. "We can't act recklessly," he added.

According to Rusdi, there was a previous incident of soil slipping in the same location last year, but it was promptly fixed. This time, however, the sinkhole appeared, causing concern for nearby traders. For safety reasons, they were advised to temporarily close their shops. It was later revealed that the woman, who had been in Malaysia for two months with her husband and friends, was scheduled to return home on Saturday. The search for her continues, and the authorities are doing their best to approach the situation with caution and care.
