Its deputy director Hamdan Ali said the debris clearing work would take about a week due to the large amount of soil that fell down. If weather permits, we expect the road to be reopened on Dec 9,” he told a press conference near the landslide incident area at Section 27 of the road here yesterday. The landslide, which occurred on Thursday at about 1.40pm, buried a vegetable-loaded lorry and a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV). “There were two minor landslides along the road, but these were not critical,” said Hamdan. State Fire and Rescue Department acting operations director Muhamad Shahrizal Aris said the MPV had already been taken out from the debris.
