Woman falls into deep hole in Malaysia when sidewalk collapses.

According to Malaysian police, a terrifying incident occurred in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur. A woman, who has not been named, fell into a deep sinkhole that suddenly appeared on the pavement. The sinkhole was about eight metres deep and it is believed that the woman 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, shared that eyewitnesses reported seeing the woman walking on the pavement before it gave way beneath her.

The victim has been identified as a 48-year-old tourist from India who was visiting Malaysia with her husband and friends. The authorities quickly took action, barricading the area and using an excavator to clear the debris in the sinkhole. However, despite their efforts, there was no sign of the woman yet. When asked about her condition or the cause of the incident, Sulizmie declined to comment.

Kuala Lumpur police chief, Rusdi Mohamad Isa, explained that there was a strong water flow underground, which could have swept the woman away. He was quoted by the national Bernama news agency, stating that the search for the woman would require careful planning as it involved public infrastructure. Rusdi also mentioned that shutting down pipes or drains could potentially cause flooding in the area, so they had to proceed with caution. "We can't act recklessly," he added.

It was revealed that a similar incident had occurred in the same location last year, where there was a soil slip. However, it had been fixed at the time. Traders in the area have been advised to temporarily close down their businesses for safety reasons. The woman had come to Malaysia for a vacation with her husband and friends about two months ago, and they were scheduled to return home on Saturday. The search for her continues, and the community is keeping her and her loved ones in their thoughts and prayers.
