GEORGE TOWN: Rescuers from the Fire and Rescue Department, Royal Malaysian Police and Civil Defence Department are barely getting any sleep as they spend days and nights at the landslide area in Jalan Bukit Kukus, Paya Terubong, searching for survivors.
Penang Fire and Rescue Department deputy director Mohamad Shoki Hamzah said about 70 firemen were on duty at the scene each day and they only managed to catch a few minutes’ sleep during their break time.
