Penang water woes: Most factories to close, business will be greatly affected


GEORGE TOWN: A majority of the factories run by members of the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) will close in the first two days of the scheduled water disruption in Penang next week.

The federation’s Penang chairman Datuk Seri Lee Teong Li said factories that utilise a large amount of water in their operations - such as those producing food, chemicals, metal fabrications, polishing and plating - are unable to open.
