Thirteen people have been killed and seven injured. Search and rescue operations are under way for 25 others.

Saifuddin, who was at the site, told reporters the authorities would be checking if the campsites were operating legally.

“We will review this (registration status) later,” he said, adding that the priority now was to find the remaining victims.

He said the authorities were determining the number of people who were at the campsites. The campsite owners’ records showed that there were 94 of them, although the figure may not be accurate.

He said there was a possibility that the number could change. “(For instance) in a family of five, maybe only the wife registered her name on behalf of the rest.”

Selangor infrastructure and agriculture committee chairman Izham Hashim said a forensic investigation would be carried out to determine the cause of the landslide, which took place near Genting Highlands.

He said there had been no signs of an impending landslide as it had not rained heavily in the area for the past two days.

“There were no warning (signs), no cracks or fallen trees,” he said, adding the slope had also been considered safe.
