Jalan Burma in Penang closed after sinkhole incident
PETALING JAYA:
Authorities have cordoned off Jalan Burma in George Town, Penang, after a sinkhole appeared on the road near Komtar.
Local government committee chairman H’ng Mooi Lye said the sinkhole was caused by a burst sewage pipe, and that Indah Water Konsortium was carrying out repairs.
“Police and authorities have diverted traffic away from Jalan Burma from both directions from Jalan Penang,” he said, according to Berita Harian.
This has reportedly caused heavy traffic congestion in the city.
He said the Penang Island City Council will issue a statement soon.
