According to Malaysian police, a terrifying incident occurred in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur when a woman unexpectedly fell into a sinkhole that was eight meters deep. The pavement beneath her gave way and she was swept away by an underground water current.
The unfortunate event took place in the Dang Wangi area, a popular spot in the capital city. Local police chief Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman shared that witnesses reported seeing the woman walking along the pavement before the ground suddenly collapsed beneath her. It was later discovered that the victim was a 48-year-old tourist from India.
In response to the situation, rescuers swiftly blocked off the affected area and brought in an excavator to clear the debris in the sinkhole. However, they were unable to locate the woman. When questioned about her condition and the cause of the incident, Sulizmie declined to comment.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohamad Isa revealed that there was a strong underground water flow that may have carried the woman away. He also explained that the search for the victim required careful planning due to the involvement of public infrastructure. For instance, shutting down pipes or drains could result in flooding in the area, so they had to proceed with caution.
Rusdi shared that a similar incident occurred in the same location last year, but it was promptly fixed. He also mentioned that traders in the area were advised to temporarily close for safety purposes. It was later revealed that the woman was in Malaysia on a holiday with her husband and friends for the past two months and they were scheduled to return home on Saturday.
