December Rain



As usual, it rain in December...it's the monsun weather, but this time around the extra heavy rainfall for the past week has resulted in a massive landslide about 2 kilometres from where I live. At the moment the tally is 4 dead, numerous injured and around 3,000 residents around the area were evacuated. The location is Bukit Antarabangsa. This is not the only tragedy,

it had happened on many other occassions in the past but a major one happened about 15 years ago where a highrise apartment collapsed with 48 deaths! Verdict : Living on hillslopes and hilly areas in the Klang Valley can be a gamble - you can have a beautiful premium view from your balcony but beware of the potential disaster.....
