IPOH: A family of five who just moved into their new home in Taman Sri Perkasa here two days ago were horrified when the perimeter wall of their home collapsed during a landslide.
Freelance insurance agent Dina Liz Ismail, 37, said part of the slope next to their house on Laluan Lapangan 3 gave way during a thunderstorm just before dawn on Sunday (May 15).
"There was a blackout at about 5am, and we could see muddy water flowing on the road in front of our house and down the slope.
"At about 6am, the perimeter wall started to crack and then collapsed along with part of the slope," she said.
"It was a scary moment for us as this was totally unexpected," she added.
Dina Liz said the structure of the house had been checked by the developer and was found to be still stable.
"The developer said it would repair the damage and put us up at a nearby homestay," she said, adding that the repairs could take about two weeks.
A Fire and Rescue Department spokesman said they received a call about the incident at about 7am.
"Shortly after we arrived, we inspected the location to ensure that no one was hurt.
"We advised the affected house owner and two other residents living near the landslide to vacate their homes for now," he said.
Residents' association chairman Datuk Zul Zukree Zakaria said he believed that the landslide was caused by a nearby development project.
"Since the project started about two years ago, there have been numerous flash floods here.
"This time, part of the slope collapsed," he said.
"We hope the Ipoh City Council will (view) this matter seriously and take action before more incidents happen," he added.

thanks bagi tau pasal defect liability period.. 2 tahun kan.
Ye..kerosakan struktur mcm ni..selain Dr dibaiki VP pun dh terjejas..sbb definition VP tu sendiri milikan kosong fit for occupancy.. without CCC mmg xde VP..so blh je cancel SPA utk settlekan isu ni..
Kaka dok perati kt msia ni dev sume kaya gila..pastu gomen plk baik benar suruh deduct installment even rumah xsiap..then bila xsiap rumah selumber je Bina projek lain..xde repercussions
