Sibu Flood 2010

 Ops! Sibu is in water again!!

[Flood in front of shop houses near Jalan Kampung Nyabor]

Due to unpredicted change of climate and continuous raining especially at upstream area such as Kapit and Kanowit plus the high tide, Sibu is once again became the victim of flash flood. 

[Temporary "bridge" was built by staffs of a supermart to ease people crossing]

Everybody in Sibu realized that the main cause of the flood is the shallowed Rejang River which needs to clean up urgently, but this fact is fully denied by the politicians in power. Despite, they chose their own solution by spending millions of tax payers money to build some sort of water pump in order to pump the water back to the river which appears to be illogical and impractical! The luxury construction still in progress.

 [Traffic jam on the "bridge", people just can't wait to cross...]

Nothing much I can comment about. Perhaps the coming state election is the best path to give a lesson to those in power what people's voice is all about!

I leave you with the photos I took this morning on the flood in Sibu, just in case you are wondering how the town looks like when it is in the water!
