Landslide on Jackson Wang Kelian shuts down Padang Besar roads amid heavy rain
Heavy rain has caused major disruptions in Padang Besar, forcing the closure of several key roads. A landslide along Jackson Wang Kelian has completely blocked the route, while rising water levels have made other areas unsafe for travel.
The landslide on Jackson Wang Kelian occurred after days of relentless rainfall. The collapse has left the road impassable, with cleanup and safety checks now underway. Malaysia’s Public Works Department (JKR) and the Department of Minerals and Geoscience (JMG) are leading the assessments.
The closures will stay in place until inspections confirm the roads are safe. Cleanup crews are working to clear debris, while floodwaters slowly recede. Residents and travellers should monitor advisories before planning journeys in the affected regions.
