Hard at work: Workers covering the partially collapsed wall in Bukit Setiawangsa with a canvas, The Star.

The authorities had closed the main road to Puncak Setiawangsa and now the residents can use the alternative road that was built by the authorities. 

The Malay Mail reported that a Bernama survey last night found DBKL mobilising the relevant machinery since 7pm to remove the rubble from the landslide.

The land that was exposed by the landslide had been covered with canvas to avoid erosion, especially if it rains.

Yesterday the authorities decided that the badly damaged bungalow caused by the Friday night landslide will be demolished to avoid further disaster.

The affected residents from the bungalows, terrace houses and shop houses that have been ordered to evacuate their buildings were busy moving out from the area.

It is reported that there are still movements in the ground around the area and it could be more dangerous if it rains.

5.6 Magnitude Quake Hit China – Photos

Associated Press – A man looks at the trucks damaged by fallen rocks after an earthquake in Zhaotong town, Yiliang County, southwest China’s Yunnan Province, Friday, Sept. 7, 2012.

A 5.6 magnitude earthquake hit southwestern China along the borders of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces just before 11:30 a.m. on Friday, September 7, 2012.

At least 89 people were killed and more than 820 people were injured.

It was followed by an equally strong aftershock shortly after noon and a lot more of aftershocks after that.

The earthquakes were relatively shallow, about 10 kilometers (6 miles) deep, so it caused greater damage to the area.

A powerful 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit Costa Rica on Wednesday but it caused less damage because the quake was deep, at 41 kilometers (25 miles) below the surface.

It damaged and destroyed thousands and thousands of houses and buildings and caused lots of landslides that blocked the roads to the area.

The damage is great because most of the buildings were poorly constructed and since the earthquakes hit a mountainous area, it triggered landslides.

More than 100,000 residents were evacuated from the area.

This is a disaster!

Blocked mountain roads slowed the rescue efforts and officials worried that the death toll could rise further.
