ALOR GAJAH: More than 200 residents who just moved to Taman Bukit Tambun Perdana, Durian Tunggal, about a year ago are worried about their safety after soil subsidence occurred in the housing area.
They claimed the land movement started in April and worsened when the monsoon season began last month.
A resident, Tarriq Samdin, 37, said his house at the end of the block was most affected by the incident as cracks began appearing in his home.
"The narrow street next to the house near the slope also sank by about 0.3 meters, affecting the parking area and the backyard.
"The developer conducted repairs because we still have a two-year warranty, but it is not of good quality. I often cannot sleep when it rained at night for fear of a landslide," he said when met by reporters here today.
The lorry driver, who lives in the terrace house with his wife and six children, said the sinking land also damaged part of the concrete fence panels built on the side of the slope.
"In the past few days, I have seen contractors trying to repair the damage, but I don't know the extent of the work.
"I hope the problem can be solved as soon as possible because I'm worried a landslide will occur here, just like the incident at the campsite in Batang Kali, Selangor," he said.
Another homebuyer, Muhammad Faiq Mohd Muzil, 28, said he still has not moved into the house and continues to stay at a rented home in Alor Gajah town because he is worried about the sinking land.
The factory technician said this is causing additional costs for his family as he has to pay instalments for the house and rent for the other property.
"I was supposed to move into the new house last month. There are already a few things in the house, but I am worried about the sinking land and the possibility of landslides.
"The developer and the authorities need to work together to solve this problem to avoid any untoward incidents," he said.
