GEORGE TOWN: A Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) staff member collapsed and died while on duty at the Heritage Trail of Penang Hill on Thursday (Nov 21).
Paya Terubong Fire Station chief Muzamer Mohd Salleh said they received a call from a medical team that was at the location of the incident at about 1.09pm, requesting assistance to bring down the body from the top of the hill.
"When we arrived, the victim was already pronounced dead by the medical officer," he said when contacted.
