KUALA LUMPUR:27 May 2011 The number of fatalities in the landslide incident in Hulu Langat on last Saturday could have been reduced if heavy machinery was not used in the early stages of the rescue operation.

Geologist, Associate Professor Dr Tajul Anuar Jamaluddin, who is the coordinator of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's Geological Hazards Programme for its Southeast Asia Disaster Prevention Research Institute (SEADPRI), was of the opinion that the presence of heavy machinery had posed risks to the victims and rescue party.

The landslide, which hit the Hidayah Madrasah Al-Taqwa orphanage in Kampung Gahal, Kajang, killed 16 and injured nine others.


"I saw the online news. There were two heavy machinery used to assist in the search and rescue mission.

"I was puzzled as to who authorised the use of the machines," he said, when contacted yesterday.

Tajul and his team had conducted an initial survey of the site on Sunday, and a report is expected to be completed next week.


It is learnt that the two excavators had been brought in by the villagers to aid in the rescue operations.

Kajang district police chief Assistant Commissioner Abdul Rashid confirmed this yesterday.

Tajul said heavy machinery should only be brought in to remove obstacles which could not be done manually, and after the all victims had been rescued.


He cited rescuers in Japan as an example, where they searched for victims with their bare hands and spades.

"The use of heavy machinery can trigger subsequent landslides due to tremors and this poses risks to victims and rescue workers," he said.

Meanwhile, police have recorded statements from 26 people, and are expecting to complete investigations by next week.

'Vertically cut slope unstable'


KUALA LUMPUR: Initial investigations by geologists have revealed that the stricken slope in Saturday's incident had been cut vertically, severely weakening its foundation.

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia geologist Dr Tajul Anuar Jamaluddin said the hill had a 70 per cent vertical cut, making it highly unstable.

"The cutting of the hill was not done by professionals. There was no work done to stabilise the slope after it was cut.


"The hilltop also appears to have been cleared and this had caused rainwater to come rushing down the hill."

He said the clearing, believed to be for agriculture purposes, was about 130m long and 30m wide.

"Heavy machinery currently on the hill could have further destabilised the place," said Dr Tajul, who spent several hours on the hill yesterday.


He added that the area still remained dangerous and more landslides could occur.

Southeast Asia Disaster Prevention Research Institute director Datuk Dr Ibrahim Komo said such vertical cutting of the hillslope was typical of community development in village areas.

He said the area was known for landslides and based on information gathered so far, the slope near the orphanage was cut for several metres and the area around it had been flattened to build a house.


"This had weakened the hill's foundation and it was only a matter of time before a landslide occurred."

Unlike housing developments where hills are usually strengthened after cutting the slope, small-scale vertical cuttings are not strengthened and left to the mercy of the elements.

Dr Tajul said vertically cut hills usually failed in about two to three years, but some even lasted 20 years before they caved in.

The orphanage is believed to be about 10 years old.

Classified as a medium-scale landslide, he said heavy rains had only triggered the landslide and were not the main cause of the disaster.

"People should not blame the weather conditions. If rain was the cause, then many other hills in the area would have also experienced landslides."

He was also sure this was not the first such incident in the area, as smaller landslides or boulders may have come crashing down the hill before.

"Unless there was a loss of life, there would not have been much interest and people would not have reported them."

Dr Ibrahim said the hills in the area were on granite rock terrain, similar to the Hulu Klang area where deadly landslides had previously occurred.

"However, the two landslides are very different. The slopes in Hulu Klang were cut and reworked to strengthen them. It is basically a cut-and-fill slope. But here, it's the more dangerous vertically cut slope."

Dr Ibrahim called for the study of new design models for hillslopes as the climate change over the past years had resulted in strange weather patterns, such as short bursts of heavy rain.

Ayah masuk Sinar Harian pulak...

Petang Ahad 22 Mei 2011, masa tu ayah baru jer nak berbaring2 melepaskan penat seharian di lokasi tanah runtuh... baru nak terlelap dah ada orang call....Pemberita Sinar Harian rupanya...selepas hampir 30 minit ditemuramah... ulasannya hanya terbit pada Selasa 24 Mei 2011. Mama tau pun sebab makcik Yati call dari Kulai bagitau ....hehe...


Perlu pantau kawasan potensi tanah runtuh














SHAH ALAM – Kerajaan di saran melakukan kajian menyeluruh terhadap semua kawasan berpotensi berlakunya kejadian tanah runtuh di seluruh negara.

Pakar geologi, Prof Madya Dr Tajul Anuar Jamaluddin berkata,pemantauan akan mengelakkan kejadian tanah runtuh dan kehilangan nyawa berulang.

“Fenomena hujan semakin berubah atas faktor iklim semasa dan kejadian tanah runtuh semakin kerap berlaku menimbulkan keresahan masyarakat terutama di kawasan cerun.

“Selain itu, faktor pertambahan penduduk di sesuatu kawasan dengan memilih kawasan cerun dan berbukit perlu dipantau supaya kejadian sama tidak berulang,” katanya kepada Sinar Harian.

Beliau berkata, kempen secara meluas mendidik masyarakat perlu dilaksanakan bagi menimbulkan kesedaran awam mengenai bahaya bencana tersebut.

“Mereka yang tinggal di lereng bukit perlu dididik dan dimaklumkan mengenai keperluan dan langkah pencegahan mengenai cara mengekalkan bukit dan kawasan sekelilingnya.

“Tindakan wajar dengan melakukan penstrukturan penahanan cerun dan membuat longkang sempurna bagi mengelakkan ia berlaku.

Dr Tajul berkata, pemasangan alat pemantauan pergerakan cerun antara langkah yang dapat memberi isyarat awal mengenai pergerakan tanah atau potensi tanah runtuh kepada kawasan kediaman.

Katanya, aktiviti di sekeliling kawasan bukit seperti penebangan pokok dan pemotongan tanah yang salah penyebab utama tanah runtuh berlaku.

“Ini kerana pokok merupakan penadah air hujan dan jika ditebang, air yang turun dari bukit akan menggunakan tanah atau cerun untuk mendapan dan laluan lantas menyebabkan hakisan dan tanah runtuh,” katanya.

Laporan ayah di Utusan Malaysia 23 Mei 2011

Potong cerun tak ikut spesifikasi
Dr. Tajul Anuar Jamaluddin menunjukkan gambar satelit 3D terdapat kerja-kerja tarahan manusia di atas cerun berdekatan Rumah Persatuan Anak-anak Yatim dan Anak-anak Hidayah Madrasah Al-Taqwa di Jalan Sungai Semungkis, Kampung Sungai Gahal, Hulu Langat, semalam. - BERNAMA

HULU LANGAT 22 Mei - Pemotongan cerun yang tidak mengikut spesifikasi selain aktiviti penebangan pokok getah di atas cerun berkenaan dipercayai menjadi punca kejadian tanah runtuh yang mengorbankan 16 nyawa di Rumah Anak-anak Yatim dan Anak-anak Kebajikan Madrasah Al-Taqwa, di sini, semalam.

Menurut Penyelaras Program Bencana Institut Kajian Bencana Asia Tenggara (SEADPRI) Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Dr. Tajul Anuar Jamaluddin, jangkaannya itu dibuat setelah meneliti sendiri keadaan di sekitar tempat kejadian itu pagi ini.

"Sebelum ke sini, saya melihat imej kawasan sekitar dari udara dan mendapati terdapat kawasan lompang di atas cerun tersebut dipercayai akibat aktiviti manusia.

"Apabila tiba di sini, saya pergi ke kawasan tersebut dan mendapati ia hanya ditumbuhi pokok-pokok resam. Penduduk sekitar memberitahu memang terdapat aktiviti menebang pokok getah di kawasan itu," katanya kepada pemberita selepas meninjau di kawasan sekitar.

Tambahnya, keadaan itu diburukkan lagi apabila keadaan cerun yang dipotong bagi membina bangunan tersebut tidak menepati ciri-ciri keselamatan sepatutnya.

"Akibat hujan lebat, air yang bertakung di kawasan lompang itu seterusnya mengalir ke kawasan cerun mengakibatkan ia tidak stabil lalu berlaku runtuhan.

"Cerun itu dipotong tidak mengikut ciri-ciri keselamatan sepatutnya. Saya fikir, mereka tidak mendapatkan nasihat jurutera profesional bagi menjalankan tugas-tugas tersebut," ujarnya

Berdasarkan pemerhatiannya, beliau memberitahu, keadaan tanah di situ masih belum stabil kerana terdapat rekahan-rekahan besar di atas kawasan curam tersebut.

"Ia boleh runtuh pada bila-bila masa terutamanya jika berlaku hujan lebat sekali lagi. Saya juga telah menasihatkan pihak berkuasa agar tidak membawa masuk jentera berat kerana ia boleh menyumbang kepada gegaran tanah.

"Saya fikir, elok dibiarkan selama dua atau tiga hari bagi membolehkan keadaan tanah itu kembali stabil sebelum kerja-kerja pembersihan dijalankan," katanya.

Lawatan Kerja ayah ke Tapak Tanah Runtuh Rumah anak yatim Hulu Langat

Kami hanya menyedari kejadian tanah runtuh rumah anak yatim di Hulu Langat ni sewaktu menonton berita jam 8.00 malam di TV9.

Keesokan harinya ketika sedang bersiap untuk ke lokasi, ayah kita, Prof Madya Dr Tajul Anuar Jamaluddin, Penyelaras Program Geologi Bencana UKM, menerima arahan dari VC UKM untuk mendapatkan gambaran sebenar tentang peristiwa ini. Ayah pun ke sana bersama Mr Lim, kakitangan SEADPRI UKM dan En. Shahrizal Nordin, Rapid Matrix Sdn Bhd., pemilik dan pereka alat pengesan pergerakan cerun/tanah runtuh - Geo-WES.

Rakyat Malaysia harus bersedia menghadapi gempa bumi





Berita penuh:

KUALA LUMPUR - Penduduk di negara ini perlu lebih bersedia kerana Malaysia dijangka tidak terlepas daripada mengalami kejadian gempa bumi pada masa akan datang.
Pakar Geologi, Prof. Madya Dr. Tajul Anuar Jamaluddin berkata, kemungkinan itu ekoran daripada retakan-retakan besar (sesar) yang terdapat di dalam kerak bumi.
Katanya, walaupun ketika ini retakan itu tidak aktif tetapi gerakan pada kerak bumi yang didorong oleh gempa di sekeliling Semenanjung Malaysia boleh mengundang bencana tersebut.
"Kekerapan berlakunya gempa bumi di sekeliling Malaysia, contohnya di Indonesia, Myanmar dan Jepun akan mendorong patahan pada retakan-retakan besar ini seterusnya ia akan aktif dan menghasilkan gempa bumi.
"Apa yang dapat dipastikan, kemungkinan itu tetap ada tetapi bila ia akan berlaku sama ada mengambil masa puluhan atau ratusan tahun tidak dapat dipastikan," kata Tajul Anuar yang merupakan Pensyarah Geobencana, Institut Kajian Bencana Asia Tenggara, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).

REMEMBER:
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.

Love the people who treat you correctly.

Forget about the one's who don't.

Believe that everything happens for a reason!

Never take someone for granted.

Hold family close to your heart.

Because you might wake up one day,

And realise that you have lost a diamond,

While you were too busy collecting stones!!
