Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar said the operation involved 200 personnel from the Fire and Rescue Department, Special Search and Rescue Team Malaysia (Smart), Civil Defence Department and the police. “The search and rescue operation will continue until all victims are found despite the darkness and rain.”
Ismail urged the public to stay away from the area so as not to disturb rescuers in their work.
The landslide this afternoon had killed nine and leaving seven still buried. Firemen and villagers managed to pull out nine alive by 10pm from the Rumah Anak Yatim Hidayah, Madrasah Al-Takwa, Jalan Felcra Semungkus, 14th mile, Hulu Langat, near Kajang.
The dead and alive have been sent to the Ampang and Kajang Hospitals.
My thoughts and prayers are with the orphans.
