A landslide occurred at Jalan Amber Court and Ion Delemen, Genting Highlands, in Bentong, Pahang, at about 2.47am today, blocking the road and making it impassable in both directions.

Bentong district police chief Zaiham Mohd Kahar said so far, there have been no reports of casualties or property damage.

“Cleanup work was completed by 2pm, allowing the road to be reopened for all vehicles. However, a second collapse occurred at 5pm due to heavy rain, resulting in the temporary closure of the road in both directions,” he said in a statement today.

Zaiham said road clearing work was still ongoing and that the Bentong District Police Headquarters and Genting Highlands security team would continue to monitor the location.

He urged the public to refrain from speculating or circulating false information about the incident.

The public can contact the Bentong IPD district control centre (DCC) at 09-2222222 or any nearby police station for authentic information regarding the incident.
