Selangor is the most affluent part of the country. Landslides have occurred there before. This is mostly attributed to forest and land encroachment.
Rainy season prevails in this region. But no heavy rain or earthquake was reported overnight. A year ago, around 21,000 people were displaced due to floods in 7 states across the country.
