Repairing of damaged drains and monitoring of slopes showing signs of distress were among the remedies proposed in the Bukit Antarabangsa landslide report.

The report on the causes of the landslide, which was prepared by a technical committee led by the Public Works Department together with 11 other agencies, was released by the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) today.

It is published in two volumes with the first volume centred on a study on the soil condition and the second one on the land structure.

MPAJ Corporate Planning Department director Norziatulshima Tajuddin said one set of the two volume-report was sold for RM80.

"Excerpts of the reports were also given to those who buy the report," he said, adding that all 50 sets put up for sale today were snapped, including 20 which were ordered last week.

"Most of the buyers were developers followed by the media and the public. They were only a handful of Bukit Antarabangsa residents, who bought the report," he added.

Norziatulshima said the MPAJ would print 50 more sets of the report and they would be put up for sale on Tuesday next week and orders were welcomed.

The Bukit Antarabangsa landslide tragedy on Dec 6 last year claimed five lives and destroyed 14 bungalows.
