KUCHING: The developer of a commercial project at Laman Bong Chin consisting of several rows of shophouses which has drawn complaints from residents in the vicinity has clarified the construction of the physical work has been carried out in accordance with approved drawings by the relevant authorities.

In a statement refuting the accusations brought against the project, the developer, Seladah Jaya Sdn Bhd, said the Land and Survey Department had reconfirmed that the State Planning Authority (SPA) had approved the construction of the monsoon drain, retaining wall and car park which was the subject of complaints.

They pointed out that the Land and Survey Department statement on its approval was published in the See Hua Daily News on Sept 6.

The statement said the news reports had painted a negative picture of the developer and had been one-sided.

The main complaint brought up against the project was that the construction of the retaining wall of a monsoon drain had narrowed the access road to the house at lot 1782.

The statement pointed out the wall actually did not encroach into the road reserve as according to the deposited development plan for lot 1782 and 1783 in 1977, the monsoon drain had actually encroached into the developers land (Lot 2098).

As a result it had created more space for the road reserve in front of the two houses which the residents mistakenly thought they were entitled to.

The statement revealed that the development plan for the project had been approved by the SPA and Land and Survey Department since 2006 and the Drainage and Irrigation Department had taken a lot of time to evaluate the drainage designs before approving it.

The issue was blown up when Batu Lintang assemblyman See Chee Hows visit to the construction site between Aug 13 and 15 was widely reported in the local press.

However, See only tried to talk to the workers who were constructing the retaining wall but never called the developer to get their side of the situation.

Sharpsburg police officers are credited with saving a driver's life after his car teetered over a retaining wall.

Police said the driver, in his early 70s, had a mechanical error in his car causing it to accelerate.

The driver, according to witnesses, crossed from one parking lot, across Main Street and into his own business lot where it went over a retaining wall.

"It was terrible because he came across and couldn't stop," said witness Diane Boberg.

Boberg called 911 and captured the lifesaving moments on her phone.

Sharpsburg officers Brian Hoebel and Nikki Mautino did not waste any time on scene.

They saw the car was balancing only by the front bumper, which was resting on a minivan below the retaining wall.

Officer Hoebel climbed into the back seat while Officer Mautino stabilized him, holding on to his belt.

"I told him to lay the seat down flat so I could get him out the back," said Hoebel. "Nikki held on to my belt as I climbed in the back seat we had him put the seat down. I told him to roll over on his stomach and crawl towards us. Once he got his hands around my neck and I got his belt, then Nikki pulled me and I pulled him and out he came."

"I think they're great. I think they do their job. They're here to protect and serve and that's exactly what they did," said Boberg.

VISAKHAPATNAM: Four workers died after a mud wall at a construction site collapsed at VIP Road in the city on Thursday morning. According to the police, the four workers were working on construction of the retaining wall when a huge pile of mud collapsed, trapping all of them.

The police were able to unearth all four bodies of the construction workers from the debris after a four-hour search. The deceased include two persons from the neighbouring state of Odisha and one each from Srikakulam and the city.

As per the preliminary investigations, police said that water was seeping through the mud wall and the construction workers had noticed it, but continued with their work. However, subsequently the mud fell on the construction workers, who were engaged in bar-bending work at the site. There were nine other construction workers at the site during the time of the incident but they had a lucky escape as were working in another part of the same site.

LA QUINTA, Calif. -

Jaclyn Underwood of La Quinta is still picking up the pieces from last weeks storm that destroyed a retaining wall in her backyard sending a foot of mud into her home.

"So the next time it comes down it will hit the house and probably break the windows and go all inside the house instead of just muddy water," said Underwood.

With rain in the forecast, she tells us she's praying it doesn't happen again.

"That's about all we can do because we can't put a retaining wall up there in a couple of days," Underwood added.

Cal Fire Batallion Chief, Rick Griggs, says they're ready for whatever weather strikes next.

"We're prepared for it," said Griggs. "This station is prepared for performing water rescues 24/7, 365 days a year, staffed, trained."

Fire Station 33 in Palm Desert is one of two in Riverside County that has a trained water rescue team that can perform swift water rescues anywhere in the valley.

"And their dedicated mission is for water rescue," added Griggs. "They do have all the equipment, tools, protective equipment to make that."

Each member of the team goes through a five day rescue training program and is re-certified every three years. Their skills were put to the test in a September storm.
