KUALA LUMPUR: Five more landslide incidents were recorded by the Mineral and Geoscience Department, making this a total of 126 landslides reported nationwide during the current northeast monsoon period.

       The National Disaster Management Agency said in a statement, that the five landslide incidents occurred in Pahang (two), Selangor (two) and Kuala Lumpur (one).

       The total number of landslide incidents that have taken place in Selangor were 51, Pahang (40), Negri Sembilan (17), Kuala Lumpur (eight), Sarawak (six), Terengganu (three) and Melaka (one).

       Meanwhile, Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) Careline, through a post on Facebook, said electricity supply in 852 flood-affected areas in Pahang, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Negri Sembilan had been restored as at noon yesterday.

       According to Bernama, it covered 525 areas in Pahang, 183 areas in Selangor, 119 areas in Kuala Lumpur and 25 areas in Negri Sembilan.

       “If the floods have receded in your area but you have yet to receive electricity supply, this is due to safety concerns.

       “This means that the substation that supplies electricity to your premises is still not completely safe to be activated,” it said.

       It also said three areas in Selangor, two areas in Negri Sembilan and one area each in Pahang and Kuala Lumpur, had yet to receive power supply due to safety reasons.

       Apart from that, it said, efforts were being carried out by TNB to ensure that power supply in the affected areas could be restored in stages, depending on access and local conditions.
