Woman falls into a deep hole in Malaysia when the pavement collapses, causing her to plunge eight meters.

According to Malaysian police, a woman had a frightening experience when she fell into a sinkhole in the bustling city centre of Kuala Lumpur. The unexpected incident occurred when the pavement beneath her gave way, causing her to plummet eight metres below. It was a terrifying moment for the woman, who was then believed to have been swept away by an underground water current.

As reported by Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, the local police chief in the Dang Wangi area, witnesses saw the woman walking along the pavement when the ground suddenly collapsed beneath her. The victim was later identified as a 48-year-old tourist from India who was visiting the Malaysian capital. The authorities were quick to respond, 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 woman.

When asked about the condition of the victim and the cause of the incident, Sulizmie declined to comment. Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohamad Isa revealed that there was a strong water flow underground, which may have contributed to the woman being swept away. In an interview with the national news agency, Bernama, Rusdi explained that the search for the woman would require careful planning due to the involvement of public infrastructure. He also mentioned the potential risk of flooding if pipes or drains were shut down during the search.

Rusdi further revealed that a similar incident had occurred in the same location last year, but it was promptly fixed. He also advised traders in the area to temporarily close for safety reasons. The woman, who was on vacation with her husband and friends, had arrived in Malaysia two months ago and was due to return home on Saturday. As the search for the victim continues, the authorities are urging caution and emphasizing the need for careful planning to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
