THE Selangor government has allocated RM10 million to fix the collapsed slope in Taman Bukit Mewah, Kajang, which affected 27 houses.

State Infrastructure and Agriculture Committee chairman Izham Hashim said the problem, which had been affecting the area for some time, had grown severe, and all residents had been evacuated.

Izham said a team would visit the area on Sunday to inspect the slope, adding that repair work would be done using the emergency method and not the normal tender process considering the serious state of the slope.

“An immediate allocation of RM10 million would be used to stabilise the slope,” he told the media in Shah Alam today.

“The process of getting residents to vacate their homes is being managed by the Kajang Municipal Council, and residents are now renting homes elsewhere with the assistance of the council. The evacuation order was issued recently,” he said. – Bernama, October 27, 2023.
