This time they will have to use water scooters, dingies and sampans for the salvage and rescue operations. It is going to come rest assured, God is not going to tolerate human nonsense and standy watching stupid humans destroying his creations, leaving his creatures homeless and becoming roadkills and eventually destroying mankind. God has been patient with humans far too long but humans seem to be more arrogant, defiant, cruel, dishonest, greedy, etc etc and till todate none seem to realise the tell-tale signs of his forthcoming wrath. Stupid people should stop buying properties on hilltops and hillsides. Why do they still risk their own lives and the lives of their loved ones. You see how stupid MAN can be. YOU STOP BUYING HILLTOP AND HILL SIDE PROPERTIES THEN WE WILL SEE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE BEAUTY OF THE HILL GREENERY.

It seems they are constructing a retaining wall and cutting the hillslope to access an another part of the hill. The conditions of the site are worrying. The development is right above Tan Sri Ismail Omar's new house (recently completed on the site of the old one which was destroyed by a landslide). The construction workers are not abiding by regulations: they are cutting a steep slope oblivious to the impact downhill. Silt-traps are overflowing. Culverts are cracked and in a state of disrepair. There is an access road that has not been maintained and is cut up by rill erosion. Will MPAJ take notice? I visited the site the other day.

They acted as Big little Napolean.

An few extra lamp posts or tarring a few roads in their area will suffice to keep them happy. The opposition must make inroads into this areas by changing their mindset that such tactics are only good for temporary aesthetics value and not ingrained value such as policies, corruption, abuse of power, good governance which are all important as this will affect the economy and the future of their children. It is a fact all opposition knows this but they must strategize of how to get it THE RIGHT WAY to these voters.

Winston If the same were to happen in countries like the United States or the U.K. public officials, architects and engineers and those responsible for their construction would have been jailed. There is evidence of criminal negligence. God has nothing to do with it. People do. “Another factor was that our courts deem fit to uphold such regulations which encourage wrongdoing!” Winston
