KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 26 (Bernama) -- Structural defect has been identified to be the factor for the collapse of the retaining wall at the site of a bungalow construction in Taman Nusa Tropika, Ukay Perdana here yesterday.

As such, Ampang Jaya Municipal Council Corporate Planning Department director Rosliza Mohd said the developer had been issued with immediate notice to stop the construction work.

"Cleaning activities are still ongoing at the site and we have asked the developer to repair the retaining wall immediately," she told Bernama when contacted here today.

She said the developer must also submit a technical report on the structural defect of the collapsed 50-metre long retaining wall.

"We have also asked the developer to prepare a temporary drainage system to ensure that the surface water drainage system in the construction site will not affect the environment," she said, adding that the incident was the first in the area.
