Kuala Lumpur sinkhole caused by geographical factors: Fadillah
The sinkhole incident on Jalan Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur, was caused by geographical and soil structure factors, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
Fadillah, who is also Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, explained that the limestone soil composition in the area disrupts the flow of underground water, leading to soil instability and ultimately resulting in the formation of the sinkhole.
