THE Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has ordered that an investigation into the landslide in Jalan Pelimbayan Indah, Kampung Sungai Penchala, Kuala Lumpur be carried out as soon as possible.

The king said the Kuala Lumpur City Hall has informed him that some of the affected residents will be relocated to the Taman Beringin People’s Housing Project.

“My sympathies go out to the residents of Kampung Sungai Penchala,” said the king after visiting the landslide victims housed at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Penchala, Damansara today.

The Agong urged individuals, civil society groups, companies and the government to come forward to help those affected by floods and landslides following heavy rains that hit the country.

“All I can say is that I am deeply saddened and sympathise (with the victims). But we have to accept God’s tests, we must be patient. Those who are patient will receive their rewards later,” he said.

The king arrived with the Istana Negara convoy at the relief centre at about 2pm in a vehicle that he drove himself.

He was greeted by Federal Territories Minister Shahidan Kassim.

The king spent about an hour with the victims at the relief centre and presented contributions to them.

On Sunday, a landslide occurred in Jalan Pelimbayan Indah in Kampung Sungai Penchala affecting 94 houses and 284 residents. – Bernama, December 24, 2021.
