SIBU: A landslide caused by heavy downpour destroyed part of the kitchens of seven families in 29-door Rh Maying, Lubuk Besai at Ng Entaih in Julau yesterday.

The longhouse folks have built a temporary barrier behind the longhouse to prevent another landslide from happening that could further damage the kitchens.

As the hill situated just behind the longhouse is not very high, the Fire and Rescue team believe that only the kitchen portion of the longhouse would be affected.

For the time being, they advised Tuai Rumah Mayin Bayai and the longhouse folks not to use the kitchen until the mud has been cleared.

They suggested that the hill be terraced and a better drainage be constructed to prevent another landslide.
