Kpg. Tebakang Melayu - Flood aftermath



11.1.2009. Water rushed in past midnight. Villagers stranded in their houses could hear the mighty river burst the banks and rush through the whole village. Waters rose between 6 to 9 feet. Higher than the average man. Houses were submerged. Belongings washed away. Land became sea. The villagers are now busy cleaning up, repairing and rebuilding. Flood debris. Cracked walls. Collapsed buildings. These are just some of the things the villagers are facing.
