Location of the collapse

A landslide occurred in the early hours of 16 December 2022 near the Malaysian town of Batang Kali, Selangor, displacing 450,000 m³ (16 million cu ft) of soil and burying campsites at an organic farm. The accident trapped 92 people under the collapsed slope; most were campers from the farm. 31 people were killed and 61 were rescued, with 8 people requiring hospitalisation.^[1]^[2]

The disaster led to a suspension of all outdoor recreational activities in Batang Kali, and the temporary closing of all picnic and camping spots throughout Selangor. It was described as the worst landslide in Malaysia in 2022,^[3] as well as the second deadliest disaster in Malaysian history after the collapse of Highland Towers in 1993, also occurred within Selangor, which account for the deaths of 48 people.^[4]
