The authorities will conduct the flushing operation and a thorough search at the sewage system endpoint.
Malaysia Fire and Rescue Department officers inspect the site where a woman fell into an eight-metre deep sinkhole in Kuala Lumpur.
“Preparations are underway, and the flushing is expected to begin later today,” she said at a press conference at the sinkhole site at Jalan Masjid India on Aug 25. “The water will then be released once pressure is built up to flush away any debris or blockage in the sewage system,” he said. “The search in all six manholes yielded no results, but we observed slow water flow in manholes 5 and 6.”
Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Sulizme Affendy Sulaiman said the search would continue indefinitely even if the flushing produced no results.
