semalam aku tengok dalam berita

dah mula ada bencana alam kat negara kita

bencana sebegini berlaku tanpa diduga. berlaku dalam bulan ramadhan pula kan

aku turut simpati dengan mereka2 yang terlibat ie mangsa banjir di kedah dan penang

di penang siap ada tanah runtuh lagi.

dan tatkala bencana menimpa negara kita, ada pula wakil rakyat yang berada di luar negara ya !

ramai pula yang pergi tuh kan. huhu

walau apa pun alasan mereka untuk ke luar negara (mungkin nak mengelak 16 sep 2008), memang tidak boleh diterima di saat rakyat di utara semenanjung menanggung duka dek kerana bencana alam yang menimpa. what more dalam bulan puasa lagi !

tapi bencana yang menimpa mungkin tidaklah seteruk taufan ike yang bakal melanda haiti di cuba. taufan yang mengganas bakal merosakkan banyak harta benda kan. hehe

Waspada banjir besar

TABAH… Mariam Abdullah termenung mungkin memikirkan nasibnya yang perlu berkerusi roda kerana sakit tua, terpaksa pula meredah air banjir yang melanda rumahnya ketika waktu berbuka puasa di Kampung Batu 20, Jalan Yan, Guar Cempedak, Kedah. Bagaimanapun, warga emas berusia 90 tahun itu tetap tabah menunaikan ibadah puasa.– Gambar Ismail Kamadin

bencana melanda bumi asia lagi

kali ini paling teruk selepas tsunami 2004

The effects of Cyclone Nargis are likely to be long-lasting and widespread[Reuters] The destruction wrought by Cyclone Nargis also threatens to have devastated Myanmar’s agricultural heartland, posing concerns over long-term food shortages across an already desperately poor country. The Irrawaddy delta region, which bore the brunt of the storm, has long been known as the rice-bowl of Myanmar. But the features that made it so fertile – its low lying geography and its proximity to water – also made it vulnerable to disaster. In the wake of the storm UN relief officials have reported distribution networks in the region in tatters and large tracts of rice-growing land still under water. Rice plants generally die if they remain submerged for about four days.

Floodwaters rise in Johor, more villagers evacuated

By HAMDAN RAJA ABDULLAH

MUAR: More villagers in the flood-hit areas in Sungai Balang have been evacuated to the SM Pekan Baru relief centre after floodwaters continued to rise late Monday.

District officer Abdul Rahman Jaafar said the centre, which housed 216 people from 49 families on Monday, now had 324 victims from a total of 70 families.

He said although the weather improved late Monday, the high tides caused floods in more homes as the water could not flow into the Malacca Strait.

“It is difficult to predict the weather now as it can change suddenly from being sunny in the day to a thunderstorm at night.
