SIBURAN: Noises of soil movements and tree branches hitting and encroaching into their bedroom rudely awakened a family of eight this morning.
They found that their house was breached by mud caused by a massive landslide.
The incident happened around 7.40am at Kampung Duras when the family head who was the complainant heard tree branches hit their bedroom and upon inspection found out that their kitchen was also hit, thus causing its door to open due to the strong mud overflow, leaving a mess.
