  "summary": "Heavy rain and strong winds triggered unexpected water leaks at Seberang Jaya Hospital in Butterworth, causing rainwater to overflow and enter various sections of the facility. The Penang Health director, Dr Zulhizzam Abdullah, mentioned that the older building blocks of the hospital were most affected, although several newer buildings also experienced the issue. Despite the unforeseen circumstances, no patients were impacted, and no adverse incidents were reported. The hospital's engineering and maintenance department is currently taking immediate action to address the situation. The incident has been widely shared on social media, with video footage showing healthcare workers using umbrellas indoors as water poured through leaking ceilings onto flooded corridors and floors.",
