KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 — A rumoured sinkhole that appeared along Jalan Sultan Ismail earlier today has been determined to be a burst pipe incident, city officials said.

The Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s KL Command and Control Centre (KLCCC), had confirmed a burst pipe incident near the Raja Chulan MRT station, following a video that surfaced earlier showing an inundated road.

According to periodical updates shared by KLCCC on its Facebook page[1], an Air Selangor contractor is currently on site for remedial works since 9.39am.

The road has also been cordoned off since 6.27am and still remains closed as of 2.17pm.

Earlier, a video posted on the subreddit r/malaysia of Reddit, a social news aggregation and discussion website, which showed the road inundated with water, speculated about the possibility of another sinkhole appearing in the city’s capital.
