Flight delay from Penang to SG

I was on business trip to Penang days ago. Suppose to come back on 26 Apr 18:05hrs flight.

I arrived Bayan Lepas international Airport about 2 hours before the flight departs. Return the rented car, pay money, check in….. everything was smooth until I am in the cabin…

(I can’t remember every single the captain announced, just roughly a few keywords and I believe these words should be enough to express the situation)

Captain: ... flight delay … do not know how long does it take to fix the fault… air craft spare part spoiled…

Passengers: …
.
.
.
(after about 15 minutes)…

Captain: … can not fix the faulty part… will try all means to fix it… will power down and up air craft for a few times…

Passengers: …
.
.
.
(30 min later…)

Captain: … will give it a last try… if cannot will arrange spare part from KL or SG…

Passengers: … ( but the atmosphere a bit panicky , passengers start call their family already)
.
.
.
(15 min later…)

Captain: … arrange passengers get down from cabin… take flight from SG landing 20:15 hrs…… depart 21:15 hrs… ground staffs will issue transit pass….

20:18 hrs- I am still in Penang, waiting for the next flight to go home…

22.40 hrs – I am home safely
