On June 5, 2025, a soil depression was detected at P149 Jalan Batu Kawan in Penang, at the junction connecting to a newly completed bridge, as reported by Penang Infrastructure, Transport and Digital Committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari.

The Penang Development Corporation (PDC) and the project contractor are investigating the cause, with immediate remedial measures underway following public complaints. The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department responded after a call, finding no victims but closing off the affected road section for safety.

The incident gained attention after a viral social media post showed cracks on the concrete structure dividing the road. Firefighters placed safety cones to secure the area. Authorities are working to ensure road user safety while repairs are conducted, with the exact cause still under investigation.
