KUALA LUMPUR: Three houses were reported to be buried in mud in the landslide that hit the Sungai Ruil Orang Asli Settlement in Cameron Highlands in Pahang at 5.45pm yesterday.
A spokesman of the operations room of the Brinchang district police, contacted by Bernama last night, said two other houses nearby were slightly damaged.
He said that it had yet to be determined whether the landslide was due to rain. As of 10.55pm, the woman who died in the landslide had yet to be identified although the two who were badly injured, a man and a woman, were confirmed to be from the settlement.
The spokesman said the two injured and the body of the dead woman had been sent to the Sultanah Hajjah Kalsom Hospital in Tanah Rata.
The search and rescue operations by the police, firemen and civil defence department personnel were continuing. — Bernama
