| One lane at Km13 of the Kampung Raja-Pos Slim road being cleared for traffic at 6am yesterday. A mudslide made the road impassable on Tuesday. |
“Both lanes will only be open once the slope is certified safe by the Public Works Department,” State Infrastructure and Public Utilities Committee chairman Datuk Ho Cheng Wang said yesterday.
Ho said the mudslide covered 30m of the Pos Slim-Lojin road.
The area recorded 30mm of rain on Tuesday, and the mudslide was triggered by water retention at the hilltop, he said, adding that the state JKR had asked the Works Ministry to get the Rural and Regional Development Ministry to check it.
“This is because the hilltop is not under the jurisdiction of JKR. Loggers had placed logs on the hilltop which caused the water retention,” he said.
