BATU KAWAN: The Penang Island City Council (MBPP) has submitted a draft technical report on the recent fatal landslide in Taman Seri Rambai, Paya Terubong, to the state government.
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the report was undergoing further review before a comprehensive assessment of the incident could be finalised.
He said several possible causes had been identified for further technical investigation, including weather conditions, surface runoff, drainage pipes, and excessive soil loading.
"However, we do not want to speculate. A detailed explanation must come from the engineers, and the state government is still awaiting the complete report from MBPP," he told reporters after opening Estek Automation's new factory here today.
