KUALA LUMPUR: The government should consider charging culprits responsible for the recent mud flood and landslide at Cameron Highlands, for manslaughter.
MIC Strategic Director S Vell Paari in a statement said the charge would serve as a stern deterrent to others.
“Those responsible must face the music and those who contributed to this tragedy, be it politicians or officials on the take or those lackadaisical about enforcement should be hauled to court as well.
“There must be no cover-up. Heads must roll. Or else the five would have died in vain,” he said.
The mud floods and landslides which occurred in Kampung Raja, Pekan Ringlet and the Bertam Valley in Cameron Highlands last Wednesday, claimed five victims and caused over 90 victims from 28 families to be evacuated to relief centres in Ringlet.
Vell Paari also urged his party president G Palanivel, who is the Member of Parliament for Cameron Highlands and Minister of Natural Resources and Environment to form a panel comprising independent experts to investigate the tragic incident and provide a detailed report.
