Underground detonation rattles homes

Underground detonation rattles homes

Several house owners at Jalan Kota Permai, Penang, started to notice cracks on their walls which they claimed to be caused by the underground blasting by JPP’s contractors nearby.

Adun Padang Lalang, Tan Cheong Heng inspected two homes and urged JPP to look into this issue and stop all works immediately in order to get proper reports from related authorities.

Tan added that this could be another Taman Kota Permai case where nearly 70 over houses were effected.
