Mad kudos to the Talking Point team to have this produced in like what, few weeks??? This and the latest CNA Food Feud series are the only two local programmes I've been watching thus far (considering that I've never watch many local production the past decade).
Timely that this documentary was produced after the incident in KL. Kudos to CNA & Diana in making us aware of the surrounding and overcoming our fears.
Ask: In Singapore, drain outlets are placed every 5 meters along tarmac roads to ensure rainwater flows off quickly, significantly reducing the risk of sudden flooding. Yes, Singapore’s well-planned drainage system plays a significant role in reducing sudden flooding and preventing water from pooling on roads, which is crucial in avoiding road damage and sinkhole formation. The frequent placement of drain outlets, like every 5 meters, ensures that rainwater is quickly directed away from tarmac surfaces, keeping the roads dry and reducing water-related stress on the road structure. In contrast, places like KL may experience more drainage challenges due to the design and maintenance of the drainage infrastructure. Without a system as thorough as Singapore’s, water can accumulate beneath the surface during heavy rains, contributing to erosion and creating voids that may eventually collapse into sinkholes. The key is proper drainage management, and if KL adopts a similar system to Singapore’s, with consistent drain outlets and good water flow management, tarmac roads could perform much better in minimizing damage. Ultimately, it’s not just the road material but how well the entire drainage and subsurface system is designed and maintained. Singapore’s model is a good example of how effective drainage helps prevent road damage and even sinkholes.
Diana needs a raise for going all the way to the accident site at KL to share this knowledge with us. I wouldn't even dare to go near! Edit: I didn't know my simple comment to praise Diana ignited so many hateful comments. Take a chill pill guys, if you guys wanna go visit the place, go ahead.
Everything was perfect until the last part when the expert shared about how to get help. Wah piang, if I fall into a sinkhole, I still can stay calm, best part, take out my phone and call for help? WHAT, doing this while balancing on the loose pipes and rocks, with one hand most likely gripping onto the loose rocks. Eh wait, I forgot. Humans are octopus with 8 hands hehe
I also laugh when she said to take out ur phone to call or use security app. Still got time to scroll through my phone and look for app meh? Taking out the phone alr impossible lol. Not realistic advice.
I love to watch Chris Chia and Diana Ser hosting the Talking Point. They are the best and their explanations are easy to understand with many valid questions asked for layman to understand.
Mr Goh has maximum Chill - Since there is a chance for people to escape the vehicle if it falls into a sinkhole, there is no need to cordon off this section of the road.
The lady who fell in was an Indian tourist who was almost 50, not a girl like the ‘eyewitness’ says. She was on her way to a temple on her last day in Malaysia to pray for her and her family’s safe journey home when this happened. Unfortunately, she was right over the part that collapsed and could not grab anything to save herself from falling 8m straight into a broken waste water pipe 1.5m in diameter. People looking into the hole said she clung onto the broken edges of the pipe for a few seconds but could not hold on for long and was swept away. Her being older and wearing a sari did not help matters as the sari material would’ve soaked up the water and gotten very heavy (most sari is 6m-8m of material), dragging her down. The same would happen if you wore jeans, a long dress or multiple layers. Either way, it would’ve been terrifying for her. Such a sad and tragic end to her holiday. RIP.
I mean that guy is clearly bad at English. To him, even a 70 year old woman is a "girl" because he doesn't know that girl is usually only used to refer to females under the age of 20. Cut him some slack.

Pretty good except for the slightly ridiculous last part. Sinkholes do not tend to be dry, there’s likely to be flowing water or quicksand/ watery mud underneath based on your own previous experts’ theories - that advice is much more applicable to surviving a building collapse in an earthquake or an avalanche. I think I would be grabbing for a handhold or foothold and try to climb out of there, not stay put. It may collapse even further if you wait and then other things may start falling in.
This news should viral the soonest to notify the public and hopefully engage the Right Professional to look for better solution before the next victim during this unpredictable weather changer. Kuala Lumpur has already started weather changes especially at year end. Be Extra Cautious.

Thank you Diana & team. Truly appreciate the segment asking about how to react & survive, in case a sinkhole opens. no other media outlet did this (too focused on the news), except CNA (giving education) we need this.
She’s so thoughtful to put the flowers there. There was a man (Jeff Bush) who dissapeared into the earth in 2013 in Florida USA bcos a sinkhole swallowed his entire bedroom! 😢 He was never found!
You need proper drainage and water supply infrastructure, NOT BROKEN PIPES underground. Your suggestions will cause the damage to take longer but will still be catastrophic none the less.
It always irritates me to think of how much msia slacks in its management of the country. It could do so much and be so much more. But I suppose the gaps, and holes, it creates for itself is why Singapore thrives so much in contrast.
What a reason to be called Sinkies. But just like Florida, it is normal for tropical swampy terrains to form hollow undergrounds due to earth deep underneath being washed away by rainstorms. Even more hard to detect because new big underground hollows can form within a day from normally nothing!
@user-yj8zw7hk6f Tropical rainstorm climate with swampy terrains are natural underground hollows' main causes. But manmade underground hollows are indeed because of constructions.
if there's high-pressure water pipe leak underneath, it seams a lot part of the ground surrounding area has been liquefied. you need to scan the area before worst incident happens
Nicely done CNA. Always informative and educational.However, nobody asked why a break in the sewer pipe large enough for a person to fall through was not detected? I know it's not a pressurised main but a gravity sewer whereby the loss in pressure or flow is not detectable at the upstream pumping station or visible on the surface. But still, the sewerage company should carry out regular inspections using submersible cameras or sonic detectors to inspect large sewer pipes regularly, especially if its a trunk sewer feeding into a treatment plant as mentioned by a minister. It is clear that the second sink hole is in the line of the sewer pipe. It is also clear from the drone footage that with the area completely tiled, surface water run-off and soak aways were not considered. Most of the rain water probably just seeps into the ground which exasperates the situation. I would like to see an interview where the sewerage company representative is asked why they didn't know that a major asset was defective?
Perkara paling penting perbaiki pipes dan aliran air.Jika banjir besar berlaku ditempat yang berhampiran .Akan lalu ke kawasan yang lain juga.Berdasarkan pengalaman air perlu mudah lalu jika sangkut-sangkut permukaan tanah akan merekah lama kelamaan jerlus.Kita boleh lihat dikawasan jalan raya sebagai contoh.Ianya berlaku seluruh dunia.Bahan dan cara penyelenggaraan itu penting.
With the increase in underground construction activity the chances of sink holes opening up in new areas have increased. The primary reason though is the nature of the soil whether it's clay,chalk,rock etc and the presence of running water.
If you build under ground pipes properly there is no problem, the west has had them for over a 100 years and we don't have these problems. Politicians in Asia steal funds allocated for projects that are out of peoples sight.
This should never happen in Singapore. Hope the govt agencies will be proactive in their inspections. Not only sink holes but pot holes on the road, water logged areas and parasite plants along the road side are good breeding grounds for Mosquitoes.
No fixing. Too much work and money needed. Will only do perfunctory work if disaster strikes to show like we care but dun. After a week called off the sar and just refill the hole with sands and get on with life like things nvr happen. Afterall we need to pray 5 times a day. Friday is practically half day. Aint no time for repair and prevention measures
Thanks Diana, Wanted to go KL next week but after watching this? Had decided not to go till KL ministers confirmed that all hidden sinkhole are reinforced repaired
The solution to avoid pedestrians to fall in a Sink Holes is to install deformed reinforcing steel bars in all walkways , interlocking wire-mesh at least 12 mm in diameter to avoid cave in incase of Sink holes formation under ground.
Instead of asking not to walks on uneven roads we need to ask maintenance by the government and find sinkhole. Since sinkhole is world wide phenomenon we need to find preventive measures together .
Civil Works like roads, retaining walls, bridges, slopes, and utility lines need funding and experienced engineers for regular inspections and maintenance. But the politicians and the public usually hold back on approval funding and continue the delay until significant damages and/or casualty. On top of that, civil works like this don’t attract talents for well known reasons.
this is why you never laugh at others when nature disaster happened at them, because it might happen to you as well in the future. Some of peninsular malaysians laughed at the the earthquake (took many lives of mountaineers at mount kinabalu) tragedy in borneo malaysia not so long ago. Now the peninsular malaysia has this.
not just one or two in KL... there is many more in somewhere else. pothole might be everywhere, driving on to it felt like exploring on moon and mars. sinkhole another new pothole after this raining season. take care , gangs. many unexpected turns will come we just don't know yet.
“The lady’s body is most likely in one of the pipes and divers are unable to reach her.” OKAY, Let’s call it a day and leave the body there. It’s time for lunch! 😳🤦🏼 So typical of Malaysia.. The least the authorities there could do is to retrieve her body and return it to her love ones. Her son should open a court case and legally SUE the City Of KL!
Any malaysians who is watchng this, please please ask KL governor to engage a university geologist from JAPAN or AMERICA as the geologists are super experience, to at least conduct survey using proper tools like Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). GPR is a geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface! If there is a super big sinkhole beneath KL that is waiting to swallow the highrise buildings there, its going to be end of the world disaster!
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) typically penetrates the ground to depths of 1 to 100 feet (about 30 meters), depending on soil composition, moisture levels, and the frequency of the radar used. In areas with dry, sandy soil, it can go deeper, while in denser or wetter ground, penetration may be less effective. For detecting possible sinkholes in a place like KL, where urban infrastructure and soil conditions can vary, GPR can be a useful tool for scanning subsurface anomalies, but its effectiveness also depends on local conditions. 22:27
Ask: Why KL Govt never want to do? Answer: It could be due to a combination of factors. Conducting large-scale GPR surveys requires significant funding, specialized expertise, and coordination, which might not be readily available or prioritized by the KL government. Bureaucratic delays, competing urban projects, and budget constraints could also contribute to their hesitation. Moreover, the authorities may feel that existing geotechnical surveys and studies are sufficient, or they might be unaware of the urgency some people see in potential sinkhole threats. Another possibility is that governments sometimes wait for more concrete signs of danger before acting, although that approach can be risky. Public pressure, like the note you mentioned, might be the push they need to prioritize it. 22:27
LTA has some of the most stringent protocols and guidelines for tunnelling activities of any authority in the world. I worked in tunnel construction for 40+ years and on 4 continents. Singaporeans can be assured that LTA has their best interests at the core of their activities.
sudden flashback of the past Nicoll Highway collapse. The COI determined that Nishimatsu, L&M Geotechnic, Monosys and thirteen professionals from the LTA and Nishimatsu were responsible for the collapse.[83][96] Those who received warnings included Nishimatsu personnel, an LTA engineer, soil engineers, and L&M Geotechnic and Monosys, which were engaged in soil analysis.[97] Three others were given counselling by the Manpower Ministry. Nishimatsu and three of its personnel faced criminal charges under the Factories Act. A qualified personn from LTA, who was project director of the CCL and responsible for monitoring the site's readings,[98] faced charges under the Building Control Act.[83][99]
Warning the public is not sufficient, if we don't warn the Officials to fix critical areas, the problem will keep happening! We also need to setup a Channels to identify & report such spot to the officials.
It didn’t happen anywhere else at any other time but right when she stepped her next step right at that time. Is it that person’s fate or what. Feel like it’s waiting for her to happen.
This proves that we all are walking on egg shells and are gambing with our life for every step we take! It's the lucky or unlocky draw if we will die today or not! 😮
diana is a great host/reporting investigator. she does thorough reporting wherein she asks relevant questions for experts to explain clearly.
FYI, In Japan, there is a mobile X-ray unit to detect would-be road potholes or sinkholes, or possible road cracks identified.

Nah they gonna kopi 50rm to their
I thought Sg are not stupid like you mah believe in fake news, i though wrong
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) typically penetrates the ground to depths of 1 to 100 feet (about 30 meters), depending on soil composition, moisture levels, and the frequency of the radar used. In areas with dry, sandy soil, it can go deeper, while in denser or wetter ground, penetration may be less effective.
For detecting possible sinkholes in a place like KL, where urban infrastructure and soil conditions can vary, GPR can be a useful tool for scanning subsurface anomalies, but its effectiveness also depends on local conditions. 22:27

Whats wrong with u? R u related to her?
Give them a break lah, they're still a developing country. Maybe in the future things will improve
LTA has some of the most stringent protocols and guidelines for tunnelling activities of any authority in the world.
I worked in tunnel construction for 40+ years and on 4 continents. Singaporeans can be assured that LTA has their best interests at the core of their activities.
@@pauldarbishire7226
thank you for sharing,it helps see why this is well managed with so much underground tunnelling in SG
In any case, there’s no hole to sink into as every inch below is heavily filled with cement and steel.
@@windydragon6522 🤣😂🤣funny but not true, there is still plenty of room for underground activity.
sudden flashback of the past Nicoll Highway collapse.
The COI determined that Nishimatsu, L&M Geotechnic, Monosys and thirteen professionals from the LTA and Nishimatsu were responsible for the collapse.[83][96] Those who received warnings included Nishimatsu personnel, an LTA engineer, soil engineers, and L&M Geotechnic and Monosys, which were engaged in soil analysis.[97] Three others were given counselling by the Manpower Ministry. Nishimatsu and three of its personnel faced criminal charges under the Factories Act. A qualified personn from LTA, who was project director of the CCL and responsible for monitoring the site's readings,[98] faced charges under the Building Control Act.[83][99]

@5:46 that is hollow of course because its a cover of manhole haha. So funny haha
Warning the public is not sufficient, if we don't warn the Officials to fix critical areas, the problem will keep happening!
We also need to setup a Channels to identify & report such spot to the officials.
Using a hammer to test for sinkhole ? How long will it take to complete testing ?
It didn’t happen anywhere else at any other time but right when she stepped her next step right at that time. Is it that person’s fate or what. Feel like it’s waiting for her to happen.
With all the advance tech ground penetrating device available. He still use hammer to do the work🤦♂️
He is just showing an example for the video lah. I’m sure the proper survey teams have radar and other tools.
will there be good to have any emergency rope located everywhere
This incident is in Malaysia and not Singapore, why is the tittle misleading
they have the same land composite, thats why they concern it could be happen to singapore as well
Aiya so busybody
I hope they find her remains one day. RIP
Cheap materials used for road works. Cost cutting measures and bad designs. All man made..... Problem waiting to happen.
Final destination
Singapore is gradually sinking and the government is silent about it.
This proves that we all are walking on egg shells and are gambing with our life for every step we take! It's the lucky or unlocky draw if we will die today or not! 😮
5:57 bro was testing a drain
avoid avoid avoid... then what
So the fella here is showing her the numerous potential hotspots of a sinkhole, but yet the government says the area is "safe".
It's ok, I don't live in those areas mentioned, though I once studied at Kent Ridge. Lol....
