Top Comments of this video!! :3
The Pantai Remis landslide was a rock fall and flood that occurred on 21 October 1993, near Pantai Remis in Perak, Malaysia. The landslide took place in an abandoned open cast tin mine close to the coast. This area of Malaysia is well known for its tin mining industry. Video footage shows the rapid collapse of the working face closest the sea, allowing complete flooding of the mine and forming a new cove measuring approximately 0.5 km2 (0.19 sq mi). Wikipedia

The Chinese info reads:
"That year, I received a call by the owner of a tin mine (the element tin, not tin as in cans...). He said that his mine, which had been running for a few decades, was about to collapse. I rushed to the scene with my video camera and waited for a few hours. Finally, I took this valuable footage. Although the footage lasted only a few minutes, it is horribly exciting enough. I hope that this video can let you all appreciate the consequence of ruining our environment."

This is really old and has been answered many times. The Pantai Remis landslide was a tin mine that had been abandoned many years ago and had become unstable. Rather than it being a landslide it was a controlled explosion to fill up the site and create a new cove. The person who took the footage knew that this was going to happen hence they just happened to be there at the right time that the sea wall collapses. The sea wall had become unstable and the authorities arranged for it to be destroyed for safety. Here is a satellite picture of the mine after it was filled in. The reports all say that it was a manmade landslide not a natural one. It was designed to make a new cove and make the area more safer.

This video deserves a F'n Academy Award for "Most Awesome Thing Ever Recorded." This camara man was ahead of his time.... he kept the focus on the crazyness and didn't talk too much. This guy is amazing.
