GEORGE TOWN: Raymond Chuang’s mind went blank the moment his house at Jalan Balik Pulau collapsed with his elderly parents still inside. Their work was made harder by the total darkness as the wooden house’s electricity supply tripped after a third landslide hit. Before the house collapsed, Chuang went outside to check the situation with his brother when the first landslide hit close to their home at 1am. “We were clearing debris and sludge away when the second and third landslide hit behind our house within 10 minutes. Chuang’s brother escaped with scratches while his wife, who was also trapped when the house collapsed, received seven stitches to her toes.
