Heavy rains cause floods in Johor

JOHOR BARU: Continuous heavy rain since Monday evening caused floods in several districts in Johor.

About 4,000 people were evacuated and massive traffic jams were reported here during rush hour.

The floods also disrupted train services in the southern region.

Yeah, yeah,it was bad. My sis had to patah balik rumah because the area down the hill was heavily flooded. And tonite, as I was driving to kedai mamak, I saw many cars were parked up the hill, as people fear the cars would be damaged kalau banjir lagi malam ni. Ever since I returned from KL on Saturday, it was a heavy rain, non-stop. Also, our area is near the seaside.. there's something called pintu penahan air to prevent flood... if the sea-level is high, or high-tide, silap haribulan melimpah ruah area di bawah bukit ni.. Heaven Forbid, it's the area so near to the residential palace.

And.. something more.. due to heavy rain, there was something of a landslide at the Istana Bukit Serene. They say pagar istana runtuh, and they are fixing it tonight, hence we were not allowed to lalu the jalan biasa this evening. The road was closed from in front of the palace entrance until the palace of Tunku Bendahara. Haiya, had to pusing back.. but what to do..

It's winter in JB....
