TEMPERS flared at the Penang Hospital when visitors and patients could not find parking space for their cars due to a shortage of parking lots.

Retiree K. Jeyabalan, 62, who was at the hospital for his medical checkup, was enraged when he could not find a proper place for his car during peak hours at the hospital yesterday.
