BATU KAWAN, Oct 29 — The Penang Island City Council (MBPP) has submitted a draft technical report on the recent landslide at Taman Seri Permai, Paya Terubong, to the state government, said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
He said the report was still being followed up and reviewed before a detailed report on the incident could be finalised.
“Several possible causes of the incident have been identified for further investigation by the technical authorities, including weather conditions, surface runoff, drainage pipes and excessive soil load.
“However, we do not want to speculate. A detailed explanation should come from the engineers, and the state government is also still awaiting the full report from MBPP on the incident,” he told reporters after opening Estek Automation’s new factory here today.
