GEORGE TOWN: The sinkhole that appeared on Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim in Bayan Lepas on Tuesday (Nov 4) is believed to be caused by a leaking underground pipe, leading to water seeping into the ground, says Zairil Khir Johari.

The state infrastructure, transport and digital committee chairman said that investigations are ongoing to determine whether the pipe belongs to the Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) or Indah Water Konsortium (IWK).
