Landslide damages Kiulu house
TUARAN: A family of four lost half of their home in a landslide in Kampung Balabakan, Kiulu on Monday. The 20-metre landslide struck at 4pm followed by another at 9pm and the next day at 12 pm.

The occupant, Charleys Joseph, 37, said she was with her five-year-old son upstairs while her husband and nine-year-old son were downstairs when the incident happened.

“There was a heavy downpour with thunderstorm when we felt a strong tremor which we thought was an earthquake,” she said, adding her husband immediately called her downstairs and saw earth and water gush into the house.

Charleys said they are worried of a recurrence due to the unpredictable weather.

Another house nearby was slightly affected by the landslide and it could worsen if the landslide recur.
