In response to the parliamentary inquiry by Datuk Che Mohamad Zulkifly Jusoh, the ministry disclosed these figures and outlined efforts to mitigate geological disaster risks. It affirmed that JMG is responsible for assessing geological hazards and risks, as well as developing national development planning standards to enhance safety in geological sensitive zones.

Additionally, NRES expressed their support for reviewing development standards in sinkhole-prone zones to minimize the risk. The ministry has stated the importance of geological data in planning and development, stating the information is crucial as it serves as the basis for preparing development proposals and geotechnical reports.

With increasing urban development and environmental changes, authorities continue to monitor and implement measures to mitigate sinkholes and their potential threats to infrastructure and public safety.
