Since the rescue mission has been completed with the retrieval of the two bodies, Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) will be carrying out the clean-up works once it has been verified that no further victims have been stranded by the landslide.

Meanwhile, MPAJ has stated that they’ll conduct a thorough inspection to see if there is any more soil movement in the area. Here are some of the videos that were flooded on social media of this landslide issue;
