  • Excessive rainwater as a result of improper drainage and gutter system causes high relative humidity and surface moisture
  • The wind blow direct to building and building location is too close to plantation, therefore moulds spore from dead plants, dust, leaves attaches to building surface
  • Less maintenance of Multipurpose Hall after and before usage
  • High contents of atmosphere gas acids (SO2, CO and NO2 )
    • Clean up the contamination area with hydrogen peroxide-based cleaner such as HG mould spray
