GEORGE TOWN, Oct 27 — The landowner and developer of a condominium and road construction project on a hillside near the landslide site in Taman Seri Rambai, Paya Terubong, must take responsibility and ensure the safety of the affected area, Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said.
He said the parties involved must be held accountable, particularly as the landslide, which claimed the life of a doctor, occurred on land owned by the developer.
“They must take responsibility for the impact of the landslide, including addressing the legal implications, matters related to the approval of the plans and carrying out mitigation works to restore the safety of the site,” he told reporters after visiting the scene today.
