Monsoon season: 5 more landslides recorded, total 126 - Nadma

Five more landslide incidents were recorded by the Department of Mineral and Geoscience today, making it a total of 126 landslides reported nationwide during the current Northeast Monsoon period.

The National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma), in a statement today, said the five landslide incidents were in Pahang (two), Selangor (two), and Kuala Lumpur (one).

The total number of landslide incidents that have occurred are in Selangor (51), Pahang (40), Negeri Sembilan (17), Kuala Lumpur (eight), Sarawak (six), Terengganu (three), and Malacca (one).

Meanwhile, Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) Careline, on Facebook, stated that electricity supply in 852 flood-affected areas in Pahang, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Negeri Sembilan was restored as of noon today.

This covers 525 areas in Pahang, 183 in Selangor, 119 in Kuala Lumpur, and 25 in Negeri Sembilan.

“If the floods have receded in your area but you still have not received electricity supply, this is because the substation that supplies electricity to your premises is still not completely safe to be activated,” TNB said.

It also said three areas in Selangor, two in Negeri Sembilan, and one area each in Pahang and Kuala Lumpur, have yet to receive power supply due to safety reasons.

Apart from that, it said, efforts are being carried out by TNB to ensure power supply in the affected areas can be restored in stages, depending on access and local conditions.

TNB also advises the public to ensure electrical equipment that was exposed to water has been dried properly first before use.
