So bad ppl for creating the hoax.

Really terrible traffic jam.

I have witnessed the traffic jam around the penang bridge and also the jetty, as ;p I was on the spot in these two places.

First, I (riding the bike) arrived at the jetty and queued to wait for the ferry, but the queue was very long and later received news in the queue that the bridge is opened again, then returned to the main road, heading towards the Penang bridge.

Congestion On Penang Bridge After Bomb Hoax

PENANG, April 4 (Bernama) -- A massive traffic jam lasting more than two hours occurred on the Penang Bridge from 4.45pm today when police closed both lanes on the bridge after receiving a call about a bomb being placed on the bridge this afternoon.

Timur Laut District Police Chief ACP Azam Abdul Hamid said the bridge was closed from 4.45 this afternoon to enable the bomb detection unit to carry out a check and prevent undesired incidents to befall on the public using the bridge.

He said the police had closed the bridge shortly after receiving the call about the bomb.

Upon inspection, police found a metal pipe measuring 30.48 cm long at the Km38 on the Penang-bound lane, he said when contacted by Bernama, here today.

The bomb detection unit later detonated the pipe at the site at about 6.30pm.

The bridge was reopened to the public at about 7pm after the police had ensured that the situation was safe.
