KUALA LUMPUR: A landslide killed three people in a suburb of the Malaysian capital early on Saturday, tearing down houses and forcing the evacuation of thousands of people, police and local media said.
At least 15 people were injured when the landslide struck two housing estates burying several houses, police said.
Some people may still be trapped in the rubble, The Star newspaper quoted Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan as saying on its website.
