A tragic incident occurred in Kuala Lumpur's Dang Wangi area when a woman plunged into an 8-meter deep sinkhole that suddenly opened beneath her as she walked along the pavement. The terrifying accident buried the woman alive, sparking an urgent rescue operation by Kuala Lumpur’s fire and rescue department.

After reading comments by some Malaysians, it is sad that many DO NOT UNDERSTAND SINK HOLE= sinkhole is a hole in the ground that forms when water dissolves surface rock.

Please do click & understand more sink holes that happened around the world

SYMPATHIES & CONDOLENCES to her beloved families & friends🙏🙏🙏

How to expect tourists or even locals now have d confidence to walk anywhere on Malaysian pavements? Read dat d same spot happened before last year, lousy patched up job coz nobody injured until dis time finally tragedy struck again😢

The family should urgently hire a lawyer from India to pursue the necessary insurance claims. It appears to be gross negligence and carelessness on the part of the authorities for failing to cordon off the area, especially since it was reportedly under repair.

After three days, there is little hope of finding her body, as the rushing waters may have carried her towards the water exit tank.

The lawyer will know how to proceed with the claims, but it is crucial to have a complete police report from the nearest station to the sinkhole. Additionally, photos, witness statements, and news reports will be essential in successfully filing claims for the loss of life due to the negligence and carelessness of the authorities.

This case has brought attention to many other "death traps, " such as uncovered sinkholes and broken pipes causing floods during the rainy season.

This is particularly shocking for local Malaysians, as it occurred in a popular shopping area in the city known for Indian goods and jewelry.

This is shame to our country.. Sinkhole in kuala lumpur😮😮😮what

[saritafernandes]

Its sad. How is that some things related to Malaysia go missing without trace. Including the Mh370 flight and my Indian woman. Thanks for the search efforts by Malaysia in both cases. It's so tragic and traumatic for the family. We never know what is going to happen the next second of our life. Rest in peace. Lord give strength to her bereaved family.

Not me telling my family I want to go to Malaysia after seeing this video i was like no no no do you know how much I wanted to visit Malaysia but now no no no 😢😢😢

[shellsbignumber]

Its interesting the people in front of her seemed to move out of the way at the last second, maybe they saw the pavement was moving and starting to give way?

[rambsiya]

Knapa ada lubang yg begitu dlm di tengah2 kota?

[bennraymore-]

whoever the builder is..
they have a lot to explain..

[selvalingam]

Wasn't there any periodic maintenance work prior to the incident ?
Who's responsibility was it, anyway ?
The authorities must investigate thoroughly those responsible, without any compromise.

[zazarina]

my condolences to the family. seriously freak accident.

[kandasamysurendran]

Very very sad this happened in my country. Deeply sorry 🙏

[CP-]

Scary...it could have happened to anyone, anywhere, anytime (especially after a long downpour). Doesn't DBKL or JKR do inspections by engineers etc.? (I am not sure)

[kohlawrence]

🙏🙏🙏arus air laju- mungkin dah ke sg gombak sg klang - cubalah ka sana cari -- tolong tolong 🙏🙏🙏

[AmirahJTV]

That place should be quarantine forever, never ever people should walk around that area. Di negara Barat pernah kena telan satu bilik dgn penghuninya sekali. Nauzubillahi minzalik.

[shriyasanthirakaanthan]

All sinkhole should have danger sinage so that pedestarian do not walk on top of it.Especially tall buildings.
Unfortunate this incident can happen.

[arissacute]

Is the body found yet? Malaysia ia not the only place who only have flood disaster.

[Yzulkefli]

It is a sinkhole.No platform to cover it.A sham work by the contractor.DBKL has to answer for this.There could be more such sinkholes within the city.There goes KL!

[Gnaiss]

aiyo, , , since it has strong water flow underneath, then why still focus this point, , , she could be back to her apartment after being lushed out from the other place...
