As the person recording came closer to the waterfall, the true extent of the heavy-flowing muddy waters was revealed, which is believed to be caused by the ‘kepala air’ or water column phenomenon due to the heavy rain.

Many Malaysians hope that the weather won’t worsen and cause natural disasters

In the comments section, many were worried about the incident, with some hoping that the weather would be okay when they visit the place and Cameron Highlands soon.

One commenter couldn’t comprehend how the passersby, including the person recording, could calmly still stay near the waterfall and record a video when the situation looked dangerous.
