KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 — Occupants of Block D at the Damai Perdana Apartments in Cheras have been instructed to remain away from their units as structural engineers carry out detailed safety checks in the aftermath of a landslide that affected the residential complex.
A Selangor state executive council member said the inspections are expected to take several days to complete. The thorough assessment is being conducted to evaluate potential damage to the building's structural integrity and determine when residents can safely return to their homes.
The landslide has prompted authorities to take precautionary measures, with the evacuation of Block D residents considered a necessary step pending the outcome of the engineering assessments. Officials have not yet provided a specific timeline for when residents may be permitted to reoccupy the building.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns about geological stability at residential developments in the Cheras area. Authorities are expected to provide further updates once the structural evaluation is complete and recommendations have been formulated regarding the building's continued occupancy.
