KUCHING, Jan 23: Continuous overnight rainfall caused a landslide near Rh Sekapan Piit, Belaga, early morning today.
Despite the disruption to the riverbank, the road leading to the village remains accessible to vehicles.
The Belaga fire and rescue department (Bomba) received a call at 7am and quickly deployed a team of four personnel, arriving at the scene within 28 minutes.
