News of the Day:22/05/2011 Hulu Langat Lanslide

A close-knit village on the outskirts of the Malaysian capital

was grieving on Sunday for the deaths of 16 people,

mostly children, after an orphanage was hit by a devastating landslide.


Following heavy rain on Saturday, rocks, sand and mud

swept through a tent where the orphans

and some of their careers had been practising a drum performance

at around 2:30 pm.


A policeman at the scene in Hulu Langat, south of Kuala Lumpur,

told AFP 16 bodies had been recovered,

including a 34-year-old carer.

The ages of the others killed ranged from eight to 19 years old,

while 10 people remain in hospital.
