The collapse of a retaining wall at a bungalow project in Taman Nusa Tropika, Ukay Perdana, Kuala Lumpur was caused by a structural defect, according to government officials.
As a result, the property developer has been ordered to stop the construction work, said Ampang Jaya Municipal Council Corporate Planning Department Director Rosliza Mohd.
“Cleaning activities are still ongoing at the site and we have asked the developer to repair the retaining wall immediately,” she said in an interview with Bernama.
Moreover, the property developer is also required to submit a technical report on the structural defect that caused the collapse of the 50-metre long retaining wall.
“We have also asked the developer to prepare a temporary drainage system to ensure that the surface water drainage system in the construction site will not affect the environment,” she added.
