00:06that emerged on a residential road in Bayan Lepas, Penang.

00:24The 3-metre deep sinkhole along Lebo Bukit 3 in Taman Sri Nibong
00:29was caused by a leaking underground IWK pipe
00:32which led to sand erosion and resulted in the sinkhole.
00:35The sinkhole, several feet wide, was filled with water.
00:39It was discovered around 8am after a scuba drove over it
00:43causing one of its rear tyres to become stuck in the hole.
