As we enter the latter months of the year, the dreaded monsoon season is well underway. Just last week, heavy rainfall in Sarawak resulted in 4 feet deep floodwaters as well as multiple landslides whilst heavy rainfall and floods caused villagers near Ipoh to lose all of their belongings.

Recently, continuous heavy rainfall in Langkawi caused several areas around the island to get flooded. According to BERNAMA, a total of 38 flood victims from 10 families from Kampung Atas in Mukim Padang Mat Sirat were placed in a temporary evacuation centre following heavy rain since 4am.
