Bomb hoax at Penang Bridge

This is a beautiful picture of the Penang Bridge. It links Penang to mainland Peninsula Malaysia. Yesterday, thousands of Penangites were caught in a massive evening jam when the Penang Bridge was closed for more than two hours after police received a call that there was a bomb on the bridge.

Rare sight: The mid-span of Penang Bridge completely free of traffic. The bridge was closed for more than two hours after police received a call that there was a bomb.


Hundreds of motorcyclists lining up at the ferry terminal in Penang after the Penang Bridge (inset) was closed following a bomb hoax on Wednesday. The bridge was closed for more than two hours, but the streets of George Town and Butterworth were choked with vehicles as road users turned to the ferry service. The bridge reopened only at 7pm after a bomb squad declared it safe. - K.T. GOH and CHRIS LIM / The Star

  1. only a psychopath would play such a despicable prank to cause hardship to thousands of motorists. imagine what would happened if emergency services eg. fire brigade, ambulances, could not reach their destinations on time!

    yes, evil has a new name in m'sia.

  2. I agree with the doc.. but whether it's new in Malaysia, I wouldn't know. We are all hostages to any prankster these days. Invoke 'Bomb' and everything shuts down, stands still, or break down..

  4. Doc, I'm with you that anyone in his right mind, would not do something like this.

    LB, that's a four-letter word to be avoided in a public place, alright.

    Zewt, guts and folly are sometimes one and the same, I think. No?
