Geologists dismiss claims Kuala Lumpur built atop 'giant cave' after tourist sinkhole death
Geologists have dismissed social media posts that falsely claimed Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur was built upon a "large, empty cave", saying the idea was impossible. The misinformation spread across Facebook, TikTok and Instagram after an Indian tourist fell into a sinkhole in the city in August 2024, but the claim circulated in a TikTok post that was tagged "entertainment news created with AI".
