"We have mobilised the Mineral and Geosciences Department together with the Public Works Department , the Kampar District and Land Office and the Orang Asli Development Department to identify if it had been due to the rain, land clearing activities or others. "Before any repair work is done, we need to first investigate the possible causes and get the respective expertise to look into the matter especially JKR's Slope Engineering Division," he told a press conference after launching the Teduhan Kasih Anak-Anak Perak programme near here Wednesday .Earlier, the Kampar District and Land Office, in a Facebook post, said that five houses at Pos Dipang were damaged following the incident.
