JAKARTA - The Malaysian government plans to take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to prevent an incident of subsidence in the land in Kuala Lumpur which has buried a woman from India alive.

This was conveyed in a cabinet meeting discussing mitigation measures to address potential road risks following an incident on Jalan Masjid India recently.

"Currently, we have not identified any specific areas at risk of subsidence, but efforts are underway to identify the area," said Malaysian Public Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi after the groundbreaking Section 1 of Malaysia's West Coast Toll Road, Friday, August 30, quoted from The Sun Daily.

Alexander Nanta added that the results of the cabinet meeting decided that immediate action was needed to identify high-risk areas in Malaysia.

"Similar to the way we identify more than 2,000 risk-prone slope locations," he continued.

On Friday, August 23, 2024, an Indian citizen named Vijaya Lakshmini, 48 years old, was buried alive after falling eight meters deep on the subsidence road of the Indian Mosque Street area. At that time, Vijaya was on her way to the nearest temple.

Today's search and rescue operation (SAR) has entered its eighth day. The plan will continue until the victim is found.
