Stay updated on the latest developments in the search for landslide victims in Cameron Highlands!

The search and rescue operation for the victims of the devastating landslide in Cameron Highlands continues with manual search efforts in Kg Raja. Despite heavy rain causing interruptions, the rescue work will resume at 7 am the next day. The tragic event has resulted in two casualties with three individuals still missing. "Stop approving hill clearing in Cameron Highlands," urges environmental group Sahabat Alam Malaysia, calling for a halt in approvals for clearing projects in the area. The Public Works Department is actively clearing debris from the landslide-hit area to aid in the cleanup process. As rescuers face challenges in accessing the site with heavy machinery due to the difficult terrain, the search for the remaining victims persists using hoes and shovels. Adverse weather conditions have led to the suspension of search and rescue operations multiple times. The recent landslide in Cameron Highlands is a stark reminder of the area's susceptibility to such disasters. Identified as a major hotspot for landslides, the highlands have experienced multiple incidents, with the latest event claiming lives and highlighting the need for better preventive measures and regulations.
