Washed away in the floods
So far the floods in Johor, Pahang, Melaka and Negeri Sembilan have caused the evacuation of about 65,000 people nationwide, as of today.Ten people had been killed and a loss amounting to RM81 million is being mentioned.
So what has the government done so far? Well for one, it doled out RM150 to each family in Johor (although some said on the spot that their losses were close to RM20,000 range!).
And then the government went on a defensive spin in saying that it had issued a proper warning about the floods. This despite it earlier saying that the floods were an extraordinary happening caused by the highest rainfall in over a hundred years.
Of course, they will not admit now that they were actually preparing for the floods in East Coast - not in Johor.
Now, the government issues a proper warning, asking everyone to be prepared for a second wave of floods as a result of heavy rain expected from tomorrow till Sunday.
The funny bit is that, while we see the deputy premier and the Johor MB making their compulsory rounds to meet the victims, other ministers, state leaders and even state officials are missing.
Why? Have they been washed away in the floods?
Nope. It’s because, as mentioned by a DAP Johor leader, they are all on holiday. The DAP leader wants the prime minister to sack these missing leaders and state officials for dereliction of duty.
The only problem with that - PM himself is on a holiday.

According to a Muslim priest(tok imam) in Australia, the country has drought because Aussies do not pray hard enough. I did not believe him but when I think that the people in Johor are very religious and of these floods in Johore and those now in Fiji, this idiot in Australia could be right. Therefore my advice is be moderate in everything and keep religion at home. That way only your house will flood (if the roof leaks). Verily one learns something new every day listening to these tok imans.
