SEPANG: A one-metre deep sinkhole has appeared near the Bunga Raya Complex at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
The Works Ministry confirmed in a Facebook post today that the sinkhole formed near the FT26 route at the entrance of the Bunga Raya Complex.
While nearby roads remain open, the area around the sinkhole has been closed for safety.
"An inspection revealed a sewage manhole belonging to KLIA near the sinkhole. It is suspected that a sewage pipe leak may have caused the sinkhole," it said in the post.
The incident has been reported to Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB), which has implemented a traffic management plan at the site.
"A detailed report will be issued by MAHB following the investigation, and the Public Works Department will assist if needed. However, the exact cause of the sinkhole is still under investigation," it added.
The New Straits Times is awaiting a response from MAHB regarding the incident.
