A terrifying incident occurred in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as a woman fell into a deep sinkhole when the pavement suddenly gave way. Malaysian police reported that the sinkhole was about eight meters deep and the woman was believed to have been swept away by an underground water current.
The unfortunate event took place in the Dang Wangi area of the capital city, where eyewitnesses saw the woman walking along the sidewalk when the ground beneath her crumbled, causing her to disappear into the sinkhole. The local police chief, Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, shared that the victim was a 48-year-old tourist from India.
Rescue efforts were immediately initiated, with authorities barricading the area and using an excavator to remove the debris in hopes of locating the missing woman. However, at the time, there was no sign of the victim. When Sulizmie was asked about the condition of the woman or the cause of the incident, he declined to comment.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohamad Isa revealed that there was a strong water flow underground, and it is possible that the woman was swept away by it. He was quoted by the national Bernama news agency, stating that the search would require careful planning as it involves public infrastructure. Rusdi also mentioned that shutting down pipes or drains could potentially cause flooding in the area, so they must proceed with caution.
It was reported that last year, a soil slip occurred at the same location where the sinkhole appeared, but it was fixed. Rusdi also revealed that traders in the area have been advised to temporarily close their shops for safety reasons. According to him, the woman was on vacation with her husband and friends and was scheduled to return home on Saturday. This unfortunate incident has left everyone in shock and fear, and authorities are doing everything in their power to locate the missing woman.
