It’s the monsoon season and aside from flash floods, hilly areas also pose a threat as we shouldn’t rule landslides out of the possibilities.

Just this morning, the Selangor Fire & Rescue Department rushed to Gohtong Jaya, Genting Highlands after receiving a distress call about trapped victims at a campsite near the Father’s Organic Farm following a landslide. BERNAMA reported that a number of 100 victims are believed to be trapped there, and at the time of writing, 60 have been rescued and 2 victims were found dead, including a child, according to Astro Awani.
