Paya Terubong near the former Lee Rubber factory was not spared from the floods. Other areas that were flooded included Jalan Datuk Keramat in front of Penang Times Square and Jalan Transfer. Many roads especially those located by the hills, such as Jalan Tun Sardon, Jalan Batu Ferringhi and Jalan Paya Terubong were not passable due to fallen trees. In his Facebook page, Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had agreed to send the Royal Malaysian Armed Force to help Penang in a telephone call at about 3.30am on Sunday. Lim said that the situation in Penang was getting worse as the water level rose and winds were strong.
