THE Penang Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) is awaiting further documentation from the developer’s civil engineer after having received a geotechnical report on Nov 5 on the recent landslide incident at Paya Terubong.
State Local Government and Town and Country Planning Committee chairman Jason H’ng Mooi Lye said the complete documentation should include an application to carry out mitigation and repair works at the affected slope.
He said this during a press conference at Penang Waterfront Centre (PWCC) after attending the launch of the Penang State Smart City Blueprint 2040.
DOSH expects to receive the complete documentation by tomorrow (Nov 11).
A landslide at Taman Seri Rambai in Paya Terubong on Oct 25 claimed the life of a 73-year-old doctor when a house in the residential area was hit by the soil collapse.
