Retaining Wall At Ukay Perdana Construction Site Collapses

KUALA LUMPUR: A 50 metre-long retaining wall collapsed during heavy rain at the site of a bungalow construction in Taman Nusa Tropika, Ukay Perdana today.

A motorist passing the area, Belinda Muhamed Hassan, 38, said it happened about 3pm while she was returning home to Bukit Antarabangsa.

"It was raining heavily. While passing the location, I saw the retaining wall at the bungalow house which was under construction suddenly collapsed and there was a loud noise.

"Luckily, the wall did not collapse on the road," she said when contacted by Bernama.

Belinda said she also saw workers at the site scurrying for safety.

She said the incident caused traffic congestion in the area as part of the road was covered with dirt and debris, as well as water from a pipe, which burst, nearby.

A check by Bernama at the location, saw workers at the construction site clearing the area.

Attempts to contact the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council were futile.
