KUALA LUMPUR, July 19 — The Port Klang Authority has verified that the operations at Northport (Malaysia) Bhd and Westports Holdings Bhd are unaffected by the global Microsoft Windows glitch that has affected many industries.

“At this time, we have no news of any disruptions (faced by ship liners),” he said when contacted at 5.10pm.
News reports from around the globe have predicted that various sectors, including banks, payment companies, airlines, and transport companies, will experience technical difficulties and delays following the glitch.
