ALOR STAR – A two-hour downpour today led to the area around Kulim Hospital, including emergency and Covid-19 screening tents, to be hit by flash floods.
Kedah Health Director Dr Mohd Fikri Ujang said the situation recovered by 6pm, and cleaning works are ongoing.
“After the cleaning is settled, the area can be used again. We have no problem accepting patients.”
State Health and Local Government Committee chairman Datuk Dr Mohd Hayati Othman said the flooding occurred due to drainage problems.
“Kulim Hospital previously applied to enlarge the drain in the parking lot. I have also raised the matter with my superiors, and I am waiting for further action,” he said in a statement. – Bernama, November 28, 2020
