00:00Malaysia Airport's Holdings Berhad said the water leakage in KLIA Terminal 1 yesterday

00:09was due to an error by a contractor that had been carrying out roof restoration work at the airport.

00:16The airport operator said the contractor was carrying out the work to address aging infrastructure

00:22when there was a thunderstorm and lightning activity intensified.

00:26In a statement, MAHB said that in line with safety protocols, work was immediately suspended

00:33and the team evacuated the rooftop, but the contractor failed to remove the plywood covering

00:38the drainage points for safety, leaving one of the roof drainage systems obstructed.

00:45It added that the blocked drainage prevented water from flowing off the roof as designed,

00:50and this resulted in large volumes of water accumulating on the rooftop, which subsequently

00:56leaked through the terminal ceiling into the departure hall.

01:00The company said the roofing work was part of a year-long project that commenced last April

01:05to restore and waterproof the main terminal roof as part of its broader infrastructure renewal program.

01:11The leak is the latest in a series of operational issues at KLIA, including aero train breakdowns

01:19and power outages.

01:20Panyujou, FMT.
