Johore Bahru Flooding





My childhood friend Richard who is working in JB sent me the photos of the recent flood which hit the city last week.This is what he commented...
These are photos taken during the height of the flooding in JB last week. Even the habitat of the rats were not spared as rats were awaken from their hibernation and were seen struggling amidst the rising water as they could not swim !!!
Many cars which were parked at the basement of hotels and commercial buildings were submerged in the dirty and murky overflow water from the stinking and filthy Sungai Segget. What a shame, Johor Bahru !!!! This incident came under the spotlight of the press and The Star paper took the opportunity to give the notorious Johor Bahru a "free advertisement" by publishing the floodings at no cost to the town council !!

Thanks YHF for posting the photos about the recent flooding in JB.
I hope this message gets across to the authorities (the MPJB town councilors) that there is an urgent need to clean up the clogged drains and the stinking Sungai Segget. Apparently when the flood water receded, plenty of garbage surfaced from the drains and were seen scattering along the infamous Jalan Wong Ah Fook.
Surely Johor Bahru boleh because it appeared in the newspaper for the wrong reason !!!!!

Dear Richard,

What happen to Panjang, the JB Saviour? If he is around I think the clogged drain will be resolve and JB will not be hit by flood. Ask MPJB to locate and appoint him as their life advisor...
