COMMENT | At the moment, there is more noise than answers to the Tanjung Bungah landslide that occurred on Oct 21, claiming 11 lives.

I must say that we have jumped to conclusions before investigations have been carried out fully.

Speaking as a layperson, I can understand why the landslide happened if there had been a lot of rainfall, but of late, we have been having a dry spell for some time, haven’t we?

Of course, to the BN politicians, this is an opportunity to hit out at the Penang state government. The election is, after all, very near and if there is a chance to swing any votes, politicians are not ashamed to do it even if their arguments are flawed...
