A landslide at a Malaysian campground killed 18 people. Rescuers continued to search for 15 others who they believe are buried beneath the soil and debris.
Authorities told local media that the landowners did not have a license to run a campground. At least seven people were hospitalized and dozens more were rescued unharmed, said district police chief Suffian Abdullah.
Leong Jim Meng told the New Straits Times English-language daily that he and his family were awakened by a loud bang and felt the earth move at the campsite in Batang Kali, around 30 miles north of the capital of Kuala Lumpur.
