Penang Water Supply Corporation Sdn Bhd (PBAPP) has sought immediate intervention from the federal government to avert a potential water crisis in Penang and Kedah following declining levels of Sungai Muda and increasingly worrying capacity at key dams.

Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the request involves the National Water Services Commission (Span) and the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry.
