Bad Weather
PENANG, Malaysia (BP) - Penang (and her surroundings) has been hit by some freak weather for the past few days, beginning last Thursday. The worst seems to be over and the situation seems to be getting slightly better so far, as of today, though there are still some pockets of rain now and then.

The continuous heavy downpour has caused several issues to the island and her dwellers. Boonspot's Team Penang Geographic Explorers managed to capture some of the distressing images, as a result of this downpour.


What used to be a bus-stop has become a shelter for motorcycles. Water levels at this area has risen up to knee level.


Waves seen hitting hard against the shores of Gurney Drive. On any normal day, you would be able to see hotels and condomuniums at the background, but the rain has overshadowed them all.


Excavator/Tractor or a submarine?


An entrance into the highway from a flooded rest area, with a sampan at the background.


Flooded rest area on the mainland.

Besides the above, roads are also damaged while hundreds are evacuated from High Risk areas. The Ministry of Education has confirmed that the PMR exams will still go on until further notice. We will try to cover more of this sudden catastrophe as the events unfolds. Pray that the rain will stop soon before more damage is done. - BP (boonspot's Press)
