00:00A large sinkhole has appeared at Jalan Syed Abdul Aziz in Taman Malacca, Raya, causing
00:07traffic disruption and memes to surface on social media.
00:11Various local WhatsApp groups blamed the sinkhole, which appeared on Wednesday on the fictional
00:17Japanese monster Godzilla.
00:19Malacca Public Works Department Director Mohamed Salzeli Mokhtar said the sinkhole, which measures
00:253.5 metres long and 1.7 metres deep, was caused by a damaged culvert nearby and not
00:31by ground subsidence.
00:33He explained that the culvert failure occurred due to the over 40-year-old federal road being
00:39used by vehicles with excessive loads.
00:55He added that they would urgently request funding from JKR headquarters to facilitate
01:17permanent repair work, assuring that steps are being taken to address the situation effectively.
01:23It was reported that two motorcyclists sustained minor injuries when they swerved their vehicles
01:27to avoid the sinkhole and hit the roadside rail.
