Flood in Malaysia 2014

It was truely a horrible event that happened to Malaysia, I heard that so far the flooding has killed 24 people and forced the evacuation of 160,000 people! OMG! The Malaysian government is calling it the worst flood in 30 years. On 28 December, the flood in Kelantan is slowly subsiding, but waters still remain largely above danger levels. It's not currently known how many animals were killed by the floods but it seems that there are volunteers at the S.I. Home Shelter in Shah Alam are heading out into the flood-ravaged areas of Kemaman and Pekan to rescue dogs, cats, and other animals displaced by the floods. Hanging around in flood-ridden areas is not great for health, human or animal. That’s because when the rain stops, the standing water becomes stagnant, forming bacteria and increasing the risk of disease spread.

These floods have been happening every year and nothing much has been done to prevent it from occuring. Take the Kajang town for example, flash floods happen few times a year for many years and no preventive measure have been taken. I hope that the government will do something to prevent this from happening.
