Banjir

Pahang and Johor are badly hit by floods. My hometown of Mentakab is not spared. The flood in the town area has badly affected the low-lying areas, including the market, the bus station and many shophouses. Water supply to residential areas is cut, and supplies are generally short because people are hoarding. My mum joked about how it's a good thing that her two sons (the biggest consumers in the house) are not at home, otherwise we might all go hungry! Some of my friends have had to rush to move things to the top floor of their shophouses.
The worse flood Mentakab has seen since 1971.


Restoran Lean Kee, my favourite hokkien mee/wo tan hor shop, is also flooded :-( (see last photo above, next to the Panasonic shop)

The effects of global warming? Or El Nino? Or just another flood in the fluctuation of Earth's natural climate cycle?

HL: Another flood in the natural cycle but compounded, significantly compounded, by our irresponsible handling of Earth.
