A landslide that occurred early this morning has blocked Jalan Kampung Raja, a key access road to Cameron Highlands from Simpang Pulai, near the Blue Valley junction.

The Cameron Highlands civil defence force received an alert at 3.15am and dispatched a team to the site to assess the situation and provide assistance.
