Siling Hospital Seberang Jaya bocor akibat hujan lebat luar biasa

Seberang Jaya Hospital experienced a significant flooding incident following a heavy downpour, with some buildings submerged in water due to sewage leakage. The situation occurred amid strong winds and substantial rain, causing extensive water accumulation. Dr Zulhizzam Abdullah, the Chief Health Officer for Pulau Pinang, reported that most affected buildings were older structures, although there were also reported leaks from newer constructions.

This incident is unusual, attributed to the extreme rainfall, wind, and substantial water runoff. However, there were no reported casualties from this event, according to Dr Abdullah when contacted by Bernama. The Department of Engineering and Management at Seberang Jaya Hospital is taking steps to address the issue. Earlier, footage surfaced showing healthcare workers using umbrellas inside the hospital building due to the sewage leak caused by the heavy rain leading to water flooding the floors.
