KEPALA BATAS: The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) has heightened security following trespassing, vandalism, and theft along the Pokok Sena canal.
The state water operator said it viewed the matter seriously after its auxiliary police discovered damage and missing components during routine security patrols yesterday.
A police report was lodged at 1.07pm to facilitate an immediate probe into the breach.
“Following this incident, PBAPP has stepped up security controls and patrols to protect assets and ensure the smooth operation of water releases from the Mengkuang Dam through the Pokok Sena canal,” it said in a statement.
PBAPP urged anyone with information regarding the incident, or who observes suspicious activities in the surrounding area, to report it immediately to the authorities.
