The Floods of Johore

Went to Batu Pahat last week- saw houses submerged in water in Pagoh & Parit Sulong. Despite the flood, saw some teenagers having fun wading the water in Parit Sulong. In Pagoh, next to the river, male youths used a net to catch fish in murky water, of chest height.

Inner road in Tangkak was inaccessible- our bus used the Pagoh way instead. Suspect that Yong Peng is also flooded- Sri Medan was affected, as reported in the news.

We passed by a school that housed the affected families. Saw clothes hanging outside, on a makeshift clothesline.

Yesterday, a quake hit Taiwan and disabled international internet links. Some people complained about the inconvenience (of not having Internet connection) while somewhere far far away, some other people are made homeless.
