Yes. Yes, we should. See, here's the fun thing about leaning towards the authoritarian side of the spectrum. The government is in charge of all these oversights and developers have to get permission from the government in order to get construction done. Thus, the government is responsible for making sure that the developer does not start until every box is checked and nothing can go wrong.
Because there was a landslide, thus the government is to be blamed. They may not have given permission to the developers, but neither did they enforce the lack of permission being granted and people actually started work on the site, thus causing a landslide and causing people to die.
So as far as I am concerned and with all due respect to the people involved, the answer is yes. We should blame the Penang government for not doing its duty in making sure that this incident never occurred in the first place.
