KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 — Jalan Masjid India here is closed to vehicles after another sinkhole opened on the route, about 50m from the first sinkhole.
A Bernama survey found that the road, from Masjid India all the way to Maybank on Jalan Bunus, has been cordoned off.
Pedestrians, however, are still allowed to use the unaffected parts of the road, while surrounding shops are open as usual.
Speaking to reporters here, Dang Wangi police chief Suliezmy Affendy Sulaiman said talks are underway to expand the road closure.
The second sinkhole is believed to have happened early this morning, after heavy rain and storm last night.
The sinkhole incident last Friday swallowed a woman, Vijayaletchumy, 48, from Andhra Pradesh, India, with the search entering its sixth day today.
