KUALA LUMPUR:
Five vehicles parked along Jalan LP 1A/2 Lestari Perdana, Serdang, were damaged after a soil settlement occurred in the area this afternoon.

Serdang fire and rescue department officer Saharudin Abdul Razak said a report on the incident was received at about 6.38pm, and that there were no casualties.

Videos and photos of the incident have since gone viral on social media.

According to Saharudin, the five vehicles were parked in front of a car workshop near a ridge where the soil settlement occurred.

“The rain at the time of the incident caused a drain to burst and the soil beneath began to subside, causing the five cars to fall 5-6m.

“The area was closed to the public and the incident was referred to the Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) for further action,” he told Bernama.

Saharudin said a landslide had occurred in the same area in 2017, about 50m from today’s incident.
