Continuous heavy rain has brought floods back to Kluang. Two schools are closed while another six schools are being used as relief centres for the flood victims.


"The water is rising after a few days of non-stop raining."

Today I tried to send my daughter to school. All the roads to Kluang town and to STK were flooded. Jalan Mersing, Jalan Besar, Jalan Sek Chong Hwa, Jalan Kg Melayu, Jalan Hj Manan were all flooded. The traffic came to a halt. I had no choice but to turn back. On the way back, I received a call from my colleague telling me the Education Office had declared that all activities in schools were canceled because of the flood.

I then went to the provision shop to stock up dried food in case of emergency. I bought lots of biscuits and bread. The shopkeeper told me that many people had come to buy loaves of bread. The delivery lorries still can reach the non-flood areas. In case the water keep on rising and all the roads are blocked, then we will run out of supply.


"The water had risen above the dangerous level"

Today I saw the Agusta helicopter flying around, maybe to survey the condition of the floods. I tried to snap a few photos of the helicopter but it flew away when I got my camera ready ;-)
