Bukit Antarabangsa Tragedi

BUKIT ANTARABANGSA TRAGEDY: Nothing learnt from 1993, says Musa

KUALA LUMPUR: "Nobody seems to have learnt from the lessons of the (Highland Towers) tragedy."

That was how former deputy prime minister Tun Musa Hitam said when told of the landslide.

"So many years have since passed and today there are incidents like this happening again."

Musa's son, Rashid Carlos, and the latter's wife, Rozita, were among the 48 people who died in the Highland Towers tragedy on Dec 11, 1983. -- Bernama



At least four people were killed while another was listed as missing after a massive landslide hit two housing estates in Bukit Antarabangsa early yesterday.
Coming less than five days from the 15th anniversary of the Highland Towers tragedy, this latest incident has raised questions on why this situation had recurred.

This was the 12th major landslide to hit the Ampang hillside since the Highland Towers tragedy in 1993 which claimed 48 lives.
