Even as foreign governments are humiliated in appealing to lift punishing US tariffs, those tariffs themselves are becoming humiliatingly hollow.
BUTTERWORTH: One of Penang ’s most critical waterworks upgrades is being delayed by an unexpected factor – the moon.
Work had initially progressed smoothly on the 23 water grid repairs and upgrades by Penang Water Supply Corporation after a scheduled shutdown of water supply to over 1.4 million residents at 10pm on Friday. Then the high tide rolled in and by noon, it reached 2.6m high, raising river levels several kilometres inland and flooding two underground replacement pits with greenish water, as they were dug about 30m from riverbanks.
PBAPP chief executive officer Datuk K. Pathmanathan reprimanded contractors for failing to factor in the supermoon tides, which caused one end of a pipeline to become submerged.Despite the setback, he assured that the 24-hour target would be met and water supply to 40% of affected areas would be restored by 10pm.
