Soil movement continues to be detected at a landslide site in Paya Terubong despite dry weather.

Northeast District Officer Isma Suhaimi Shariff said preliminary findings indicate that a leaking water channel and a clogged drain caused water to accumulate and triggered a landslip that killed a 73-year-old doctor.

Following the incident, six houses involving five families have been ordered to evacuate. A community hall in Paya Terubong has been activated as a temporary relief centre.
