KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 26): Police have refuted a viral video showing a supposed landslide at the entrance of the Genting Sempah Tunnel.

Bentong district police chief Supt Zaiham Mohd Kahar said the clip had been circulating on social media since Saturday, and the incident shown is believed to have occurred abroad.

"The incident in the video did not occur in the Genting area. I have seen the video before.

"If you look at the Genting Sempah Tunnel, the entrance and exit clearly show the image of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah) above the tunnel," he said when contacted on Sunday night.

Zaiham said if such an incident took place in Genting Sempah, the police or the highway concessionaire would have immediately issued an official statement.

Earlier, a 50-second clip went viral on social media, showing a landslide in front of the entrance of a road tunnel.
