KUCHING, April 6 -- The Kuching South City Council (MBKS) will first focus on assessing the safety of two shoplot units along Jalan Padungan following a wall collapse incident early this morning, before considering wider structural checks in the area.

Kuching South Mayor Datuk Wee Hong Seng said the council's priority is ensuring the safety of the two units affected by the incident.

"At the moment, it's these two (units). That's why we are getting JKR (Public Works Department) to come in to assess the safety of the two units first, then we will look into the others.

"We need to know the cause before taking further action. Safety is always our priority, so let's work on that for the time being," he said when met at the scene.
