The best solution for now is not to buy any wall type water heater but invest at least in a water heater tank type. That itself reduce the possiblities of electrocution. Whether its malaysia made or not, its still a phobia whenever u pick up the shower handles. just tell me how many of you are now thinking of that japanese guy when you are showering now? I bet, you must b thinking, when will it happen to me next?

u mean the water heater in a drum installed under the roof top?

I doubt the risk is higher since there's a heater element heating the water only, wiring not in the water. The shower type has greater risk because 1) Many have been electrocuted ( have stats and reported news) 2) The outflow of the water from the shower handle carries electricity directly to the person because he/she was holding it.
