KANGAR, May 11 — Almost the entire northern part of Perlis will face water supply disruption and low water pressure between 9 am and 5 pm on Tuesday.

The areas affected are the whole of Padang Besar including the Anti-Smuggling Unit Camp, Felda Rimba Mas, Padang Besar Industrial Site and Kampung Kolam.

Also affected are Taman Kastam, Taman Kim, Kampung Tersusun, Kampung Kok Mak, Felda Mata Air, along the road from Padang Besar to Batu 17, Jalan Kaki Bukit including the Gua Cenderai National Service Training Centre, and the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM).
