Woman falls into hole after pavement collapses in Malaysia, reaching a depth of 8 meters.
A horrifying incident occurred in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur as a woman fell into a deep sinkhole that suddenly appeared on the pavement. Malaysian police reported that the sinkhole was about eight meters deep, and it seemed that the woman was swept away by an underground water current. This unnerving event took place in the Dang Wangi area of the city, where eyewitnesses recounted seeing the woman walking along the pavement when the ground gave way beneath her.

Local police chief Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman shared that the woman, a tourist from India, was identified as a 48-year-old. As soon as the authorities were notified of the incident, they quickly took action by barricading the area and using an excavator to clear the debris in the sinkhole. However, despite their efforts, the victim was still nowhere to be found. When Sulizmie was asked about the woman's possible condition or the cause of the sinkhole, he declined to comment.

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

Rusdi also mentioned that a similar incident occurred in the same location last year, where there was a soil slip. However, it was promptly fixed. As a precautionary measure, traders in the area were advised to temporarily close their shops for safety reasons. The woman had been on vacation in Malaysia for about two months with her husband and friends, and they were supposed to return home on Saturday. This tragic event has left the authorities and the public in shock, and the search for the woman continues.
