Two people have been killed after a landslide struck a Malaysian campsite on Friday morning, local authorities said, as rescuers searched the area for 51 others missing.
Three people were injured by this landslide near the town of Batang Kali, just next to the capital Kuala Lumpur and close to a mountain casino, firefighters said in a statement.
Landslides are common in Malaysia after recurring heavy rains at the end of the year and are even more so due to climate change, scientists say.
The government has imposed strict laws regarding hillside construction, but landslides continue to increase due to bad weather.
In March, four people lost their lives after a similar event buried their homes in suburban Kuala Lumpur.
In 1993, a gigantic mudslide caused by torrential rains caused the collapse of a 12-storey residential building, killing 48 people.
