PETALING JAYA: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has played down concerns of another sinkhole in the city after a picture of a purported sinkhole on Jalan Dewan Bahasa in Kampung Attap went viral earlier today.
In a Facebook post, it said the image was an old one.
“Repair works to the damage on the road have been done,” said DBKL, which attached a more recent picture of the patched road.
Authorities are still searching for 48-year-old Indian national Vijayaletchumy, who fell into an 8m-deep sinkhole on Jalan Masjid India last Friday.
Yesterday, another smaller sinkhole was reported in the area, about 50m away.
Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain earlier today said there was no need to declare the area unsafe or a disaster zone.
He said the sinkhole incident has not been classified as a disaster.
