A sinkhole measuring 5m wide, a metre deep, and 4m long has appeared near the entrance to Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s (KLIA) Bunga Raya Complex today.
The complex is used by VIP guests and dignitaries when they arrive or depart from KLIA. The sinkhole has been cordoned off and a traffic management plan has been implemented in the area.
The Public Works Department (JKR) believed the sinkhole was caused by a leak from a sewage pipe nearby.
Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) is currently investigating the cause and will release a detailed report once the investigation is complete.
