Landslide damages retaining wall near homes in Shah Alam

SHAH ALAM: A landslide near a residential area in Persiaran Kosmos, Section U5, damaged a retaining wall and exposed part of the slope.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant operations director Ashrul Riezal Asbar said firefighters received a distress call at 9.55am.

“A team of four personnel from the Sungai Buloh Fire and Rescue Station arrived at the scene at 10.12am.

“No casualties were reported,” he said.

Photographs provided by the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department showed sections of the concrete retaining wall displaced and tilted, with several blocks appearing to have collapsed.

The landslide also exposed the soil beneath a building at the top of the slope, with debris scattered across the affected area.

Several coconut trees were seen standing close to the damaged slope.

Ashrul said the case was referred to the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA).
