Bad Feng Shui caused by those ugly high-rise buildings. The Penang mountains has spirits, all those ugly buildings are blocking them.
The elevated (drone) view that one site published shows the rest of the roofs of the 2 blocks of flats undamaged. They don’t seem flimsy or made of “zinc”. They were adequate for their purpose.
