Woman falls into deep hole in Malaysia after pavement collapse.
According to Malaysian police, a terrifying incident occurred in the heart of Kuala Lumpur when a woman unexpectedly fell into a sinkhole that was eight meters deep. As if that wasn't enough, she was then swept away by an underground water current. The area where this happened is known as Dang Wangi, and the local police chief, Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman, shared that eyewitnesses reported the woman was simply walking along the pavement when the ground gave way beneath her.

It's been confirmed that the woman is a 48-year-old tourist from India, who was visiting Kuala Lumpur with her husband and friends for a vacation that was sadly cut short. Rescue teams quickly arrived at the scene and blocked off the affected area. They even brought in an excavator to remove the debris from the sinkhole, but they were unable to locate the victim at that time. When asked about the woman's condition or the cause of the incident, Sulizmie declined to comment.

Kuala Lumpur's police chief, Rusdi Mohamad Isa, explained that there was a strong current of water underground, which could have carried the woman away. He was quoted by a national news agency as saying that the search for the victim had to be carefully planned because it involved public infrastructure. For instance, if they were to shut down any pipes or drains, it could potentially cause flooding in the area. Rusdi also emphasized the importance of not acting recklessly in this situation.

He also mentioned that there was a similar incident in the same area last year, where the ground had slipped, but it was promptly fixed. In light of this event, traders in the vicinity have been advised to temporarily close their businesses for safety reasons. It's truly a tragic situation, especially since the woman was supposed to return home to her loved ones on Saturday. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family during this difficult time.
