Kulai: "Bukan setahun sekali, tapi hampir setiap bulan rumah kami dinaiki air." Itu keluhan penduduk Kampung Melayu, Bukit Batu, di sini, yang mendakwa sistem perparitan rosak menjadi punca utama banjir kilat berulang sejak awal tahun ini, tanpa sebarang penyelesaian daripada pihak berkuasa.
Lebih 50 isi rumah di kampung berkenaan terpaksa hidup dalam kebimbangan setiap kali hujan turun, apabila air melimpah dari longkang hingga memasuki rumah, membawa lumpur serta najis.
Penduduk, Muhammad Amirul Aiman Hassni, 26, berkata, kejadian banjir kini berlaku jauh lebih kerap dan buruk berbanding tiga tahun lalu.
"Dulu setahun sekali, dua tahun sekali banjir. Tapi sekarang hampir setiap bulan kami hadap. Bila hujan lebat dua hingga tiga jam, pasti banjir.
"Banyak barang, perabot kami terpaksa buang sebab rosak. Air banjir pula berlumpur dan bercampur najis. Bulan Ramadan lalu kami kena dua kali.
"Yang dah beli perabot raya, tikar getah, akhirnya beraya rumah kosong," katanya katanya ketika ditemui di Kampung Melayu, Bukit Batu, di sini, hari ini.
Menurutnya, masalah dipercayai berpunca daripada projek yang dijalankan di Sungai Ulu Pontian, terletak di belakang kediaman penduduk.
"Ketua kampung dan Jawatankuasa Pembangunan dan Keselamatan Kampung (JPKK) sudah ajukan kepada pihak berkuasa tempatan (PBT), tapi masih tiada tindakan," katanya.
Seorang lagi penduduk, Pembantu Perawat Kesihatan, Nur Azimah Mohd Mahiyidin, 36, menyifatkan banjir kali ini paling buruk pernah dialami sejak menetap di kampung berkenaan sejak kecil.
"Dari Darjah Lima saya duduk sini, tak pernah seteruk ini. Tahun ini saja dah empat kali banjir. Bulan Januari, air naik paras pinggang, kami ditempatkan di Pusat Pemindahan Sementara (PPS).
"Lepas balik rumah dua hari, esoknya banjir lagi. Mak saya berusia 75 tahun, ada angin ahmar. Bila banjir, kami kena angkat dia ke PPS. Memang tak selesa untuk warga emas," katanya.
Sementara itu, suri rumah, Nur Farahani Mamat, 30, yang mempunyai tiga anak berusia tiga, enam dan sembilan tahun, turut meluahkan rasa tertekan menjelang Aidilfitri.
"Tilam saja yang tinggal, sofa pakai yang lama sebab dah tahu banjir akan datang. Barang banyak dah rosak. Bila hujan lebat sikit saja, hati dah tak senang.
"Air sungai belakang makin tinggi, tapi longkang depan rumah tak jalan. Ini bukan soal tak bersedia, tapi sistem perparitan memang dah tak mampu tampung.
"Kami harap pihak berwajib ambil tindakan segera," katanya.

KOTA KINABALU: A total of 263 people from 63 families were evacuated in the Nabawan district due to flooding at 8 pm tonight.
The Sabah state disaster management secretariat said they were evacuated to a temporary evacuation centre (PPS), namely the Nabawan district council multipurpose hall, to accommodate 142 people from 29 families.
Other PPS are the Kampung Bahagia hall (63 people from 16 families) and the Kampung Sarikan Cultural Centre (58 people from 18 families), while the evacuation data at the Kabangawong cultural centre is being updated.
“Fourteen villages were affected with four PPS having been opened. The erratic rainy weather that began since 9 pm yesterday (April 10) caused the river water to overflow,“ the statement added.

“There is still no PPS opened so far in Sook and monitoring is ongoing,” he said.

KUALA LUMPUR: ASEAN’s swift solidarity and humanitarian support have played a critical role in driving Myanmar’s ongoing recovery efforts following the devastating earthquake that struck the country on March 28, Director-General of the Media Development Department under Myanmar’s Ministry of Information, Dr Thida Tin, said.
She extended the people’s gratitude to ASEAN member states for their swift response and invaluable support.
“Our government and social organisation are working together to ensure the fastest and the best possible recovery from the natural disaster with all available international assistance. I am convinced that your kind assistance reflects the true hearts of family spirit of the region and the value of our shared civilisation,” she said during a plenary session of the ASEAN-China Media and Think Tank Forum, held here on Friday.
The ASEAN-China Media and Think Tank Forum was opened by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof earlier today, with Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil and Xinhua News Agency’s Editor-in-Chief Lyu Yansong among those present.
Also in attendance were Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching, Secretary-General of the Communications Ministry Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa, Bernama’s Chairman Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai, Bernama’s Chief Executive Officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin, and Bernama’s Editor-in-Chief Arul Rajoo Durar Raj.
Jointly organised by Bernama and Xinhua News Agency under the theme ‘Strengthening ASEAN-China Cooperation’, the event drew over 200 participants – including influential media leaders, representatives, senior government officials and experts from across the ASEAN region and China – to deepen engagement in the ever-evolving media landscape.
On March 28, Myanmar was struck by two powerful earthquakes – a 7.7-magnitude quake in the Sagaing Region, followed by a 6.4-magnitude quake further south – claiming the lives of at least 3,600 people, with thousands of others injured and hundreds more reported missing.
However, Thida Tin said that while the people of Myanmar are doing their best to recover from the disaster, more assistance is still needed.
She emphasised that this includes not only urgent search and rescue efforts, but also support for rebuilding communities, restoring livelihoods, and helping people resettle in the long term.
Therefore, she added, Myanmar warmly welcomes continued support from the international community for the recovery and reconstruction of earthquake-affected areas.
On April 5, Malaysia, as the ASEAN Chair, spearheaded the humanitarian mission to Myanmar led by Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.
During the visit, Mohamad and his Thai counterpart Maris Sangiampongsa—who is co-leading the humanitarian mission—were scheduled to meet with the Chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC), Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, and Myanmar’s Foreign Minister U Than Shwe in the capital.
On March 30, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that the Malaysian government would provide RM10 million in humanitarian aid as an initial contribution to Myanmar, which has been severely affected by the natural disaster.
