Malaysia Sinkhole Rescue LIVE | Indian Fell Into A Giant Sinkhole In Malaysia News LIVE | N18G

Malaysian rescuers on Friday scrambled to save a 48-year-old Indian woman who was swallowed up by an 8-metre deep sinkhole that opened up under the pavement in Kuala Lumpur’s bustling Masjid India neighbourhood.

Straddled by the city’s two main rivers, Klang and Gombak, parts of the district experienced flash floods on Thursday afternoon after heavy rain caused the two rivers to overflow.

Operation commander Mohd Riduan Akhyar from the Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department said Special Tactical Operation and Rescue Team (STORM) and K-9 units had been deployed to rescue the victim.

“A 48-year-old Indian adult female victim fell into a hole and was buried underground,” Mohd Riduan said.
