Under Waters

The southern state in the Peninsular Malaysia has been hit two times with heavy floods since December 2006. Many towns Johor were under waters due to very heavy rains in the past weeks.

The first flood came some time during Christmas and the second one hit big towns like Kota Tinggi, Johor Baru and Batu Pahat in the second week of January this year. Thousands of the local folks had to move to higher grounds and stayed at the flood relief centres.

The rain has stopped since and the sun has started to shine. However, it will take some time for the affected areas to dry up as the soil is still soggy from the first flood last December.
