He said the city council had ordered the project developer to ask its consultants to identify the cause of the landslide and sinkhole. On Sunday, three newly-built luxury houses on the hillside of Tanjung Bungah were destroyed after heavy downpour triggered a landslide and sink-hole, causing the whole double-lane road in front of the premises to collapse. Elaborating, Addnan said the site where the incident occurred was a new area, which had yet to be opened to the public. Residents staying near the project in question had told the NST recently that a similar incident had occurred years ago at an area nearby. They had claimed that a road project located about 200m from the affected area had to be closed due to the incident years ago.
