SEGAMAT, Johor - It was a harrowing experience for retiree Abdullah Mohamed, who was trapped at home in Johor for two days with only a little food after the roads surrounding his house in the Segamat district were submerged in flood waters.
Mr Abdullah, who lives alone after his wife died in 2022, said: “My son was visiting me that day. And he got trapped in the house with me. However, the elderly man was thankful his house was not severely flooded, saying the water level went up by only “a few inches”. “I also received a few packets of instant noodles from my neighbour that same day,” he said, adding that he got some food aid from the Sekijang parliamentarian office later.“During the 2006 massive floods, the same thing happened, but the water receded within five to six hours. This time, it took two days for the water level to go down,” he added.
