Some of the galvanized metal part ( punching / laser cut ) easy to corrosion.

Also here in Jakarta - INDONESIA , humidity is also give support for rust / corrosion come out . I need some suggestion ....how we control this problem...

    The accelerated corrosion observed is due to mechanical damage, cracking of galvanized layer and moisture accumulation. A cross section from corroded sample confirms this. Consideration should be given to drill and not punch in low humidity and paint the surface after the process.
