Jalan Medang Tanduk in Bangsar closed after retaining wall collapses

PETALING JAYA (Nov 19): Jalan Medang Tanduk at Bukit Bandaraya, Bangsar, will be closed for the foreseeable future after a hillslope retaining wall collapsed at 11.40pm last night.

"The situation is dangerous due to earth movement and stones falling. Furthermore, there is construction work going on in the area involving a condominium project on top of the hill," said a Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) spokesman.
