Penang health director Dr Zulhizzam Abdullah said most of the affected areas were in the older blocks, although some newer buildings also experienced similar problems.

“No patients were affected and there were no adverse consequences arising from the incident,” Bernama reported him as saying.

He said the hospital’s engineering and maintenance management department was taking steps to address the problem.
