LIMBANG, Sarawak, Oct 5 (NNN-BP NEWS) – Five families in a big house at Kampung Bukit Kota, here, were shocked to see part of their house compound in a sea of mud, when they were rudely roused from sleep early yesterday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to their spokesman, Dullah Tarip, 60, the incident happened about 3.30 am, when all of them were fast asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe only realised the incident when we were awakened by my in-law next door, knocking at our door and I immediately went out to check and saw a car parked in the compound partially buried in mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI immediately directed our family members to collect important documents and other major movable items as a precaution for possible damage caused by another landslide,\u201d he told the media yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dullah said he never expected the landslide to recur after 10 years, which forced several residents to relocate to safer grounds. The tragedy 10 years ago still haunted the villagers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, head of Fire and Rescue Dept here, Edmund Mahai Amboh, said, firemen rushed to the scene after receiving a distress call at 5.10 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn arrival, we found that the landslide had partially buried a vehicle parked outside the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe, together with the villagers, used hoes to remove the earth that was tyre-deep, and moved the car to safer ground,\u201d he said, adding, the operation ended about 6.00 am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edmund added that, heavy rain since Thursday had probably caused the landslide.– NNN-BP NEWS <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
