It's not the whale this time being stranded but it's people being stranded by floods. I've not seen anything like this occuring in the southern region of Peninsula Malaysia. To be exact, the places hit are Kota Tinggi and Segamat in Johor and they are being cut off by rising waters.
More than people in Johor, Malacca, Negri Sembilan and Pahang have been evacuated. Electriciy substations in Johor have been shut down leaving more than three thousand premises without electricity.
Railway services to the south have been cancelled until further notice and certain areas in Segamat had their water supply cut off after three treatment plants were closed.
More downpours are expected over the next few days, according to the Meteorological Department.

Meanwhile, Australia and parts of Europe are still experiencing some of the worst droughts in their respective histories.
ReplyDeleteThe weather is truly screwed up, I think...
First time in 75 years, singapore recorded a rainfall of 345mm. Flood occurred around the reservoir area with minor landslide and uprooting of trees.
ReplyDelete*sigh* It's still drizzling outside
MM, global-warming is in part contributing to these conditions, I think. We, are also contributing with all that CFCs we are so set on using. Is the world coming to an end?!!
ReplyDeleteIML, wow! It must have be awfully wet. I don't like wet days. It's depressing to say the least.
