KUALA NERUS: Keresahan pemilik banglo biru di Kampung Tanjung, dekat sini, menjadi kenyataan apabila pagar rumah berkenaan roboh malam tadi akibat fenomena ombak besar.
Pemiliknya, Mohd Yazit Idris, 66, berkata, pagar sebelah kanan rumahnya roboh kira-kira jam 9.30 malam tadi dan kejadian itu menjadikan episod baru buat banglo biru miliknya.
Beliau berkata, asakan ombak walaupun tidak sekuat malam Isnin lalu namun sudah cukup untuk menghakis pantai dengan pantas hingga merobohkan pagar rumahnya.
Katanya, hanya dalam tempoh beberapa minggu saja jarak pagar yang sebelum ini melebihi 10 meter dari pantai mengalami hakisan.
"Saya buntu memikirkan kejadian ini, kerana selepas bahagia dapur dapat diselamatkan namun bahagian pagar sebelah kanan pula mengalami hakisan.
"Ibarat anai-anai merosakkan perkakas, sedikit demi sedikit tanah pantai terhakis dan hingga merobohkan struktur pagar," katanya.
Beliau berkata, selepas kerja menambak dan membina benteng pemecah ombak di belakang rumahnya, dia ketika itu sudah mampu menarik nafas lega.
Namun sejak seminggu lalu, beliau berkata, hidupnya kembali gusar memikirkan hakisan yang berlaku berhampiran pagar rumahnya kerana bimbang pagar berkenaan akan runtuh.
"Ketakutan ini kini menjadi kenyataan apabila semalam pagar sudah roboh dan menandakan kawasan halaman sudah menghampiri laut.
"Saya berharap pihak berwajib segera melakukan kerja menambak bongkah batu bagi mengurangkan impak hakisan," katanya.
Beliau hanya mampu menarik nafas lega hanya beberapa minggu sahaja selepas kerja menambak pantai di belakang rumahnya selesai dan kini kembali dihantui kejadian hakisan di tepi rumahnya pula.
Katanya, kini kedudukan pantai dan rumahnya hanya tinggal beberapa meter saja lagi dan kejadian itu amat menggusarkan kerana hakisan berlaku dengan cepat.
"Fenomena ombak besar setinggi 2.4 hingga 2.8 meter malam tadi sehingga malam esok mungkin memberi kesan pada halaman rumah pula.
"Sedih melihat pagar rumah ini roboh di hadapan mata sendiri malam tadi namun apakan daya saya hanya mampu melihat kejadian itu berlaku kerana kuasa alam mampu mengatasi segalanya," katanya.
Beliau berkata, apa yang ingin dipertahankan kini adalah struktur rumah daripada roboh kerana berdepan hakisan melalui sisi kanan rumah pula selepas bahagian belakang dapat diselamatkan.
Terdahulu, banglo biru milik Mohd Yazit, menjadi perhatian ramai sejak awal Januari lalu apabila berdepan bakal roboh akibat hakisan dan semalam warga emas itu menyuarakan kebimbangannya selepas hakisan hampir merobohkan pagar rumahnya.
PETALING JAYA – Negara dijangka mengalami cuaca lebih panas dan kering berbanding kebiasaan berikutan kekurangan hujan dalam tempoh susulan fasa akhir Monsun Timur Laut yang dijangka berakhir pertengahan Mac ini.
Ketua Pengarah Jabatan Meteorologi (MetMalaysia), Dr. Mohd. Hisham Mohd. Anip berkata, dalam tempoh itu, litupan awan dan taburan hujan adalah berkurangan di kebanyakan tempat terutamanya di kawasan utara Semenanjung termasuk Perak, Pahang dan Kelantan.
“Situasi cuaca panas dan kering yang dialami ketika ini adalah fenomena berulang yang berlaku setiap tahun bermula pada bulan Februari hingga Mei.
“Dalam tempoh ini, catatan suhu harian tertinggi boleh melebihi 35 darjah Celsius pada awal petang.
“Bacaan suhu tertinggi dicatat di stesen-stesen Meteorologi MetMalaysia seluruh negara pada semalam adalah 36.1 darjah Celsius, yang direkod di Felda Teloi Kanan, Baling, Kedah,” katanya menerusi kenyataan, hari ini.
Tambah beliau, gelombang haba dan jerebu setempat juga berpotensi berlaku dalam tempoh berkenaan, namun tidak diramalkan tidak seteruk tahun 2024.
“Ia disebabkan pengaruh La Nina lemah yang sedang berlaku sekarang dan dijangka berterusan sehingga pertengahan tahun ini,” ujarnya. – KOSMO! ONLINE
KOTA KINABALU: The Education Ministry has allocated RM63 million for flood-affected schools in Sabah.
State education director Datuk Raisin Saidin said that the funds would ensure the smooth reopening of schools on the first day of the new term, on Feb 17.
"I would like to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude to the ministry for providing the necessary funds to clean up schools affected by the floods and replace damaged furniture, such as desks.
"We have received some RM63 million for flood clean-up efforts across all affected schools, including those that may face future flooding.
The Sabah Education Department is committed to ensuring that these schools can operate smoothly when the school term begins on Feb 17," said Raisin who was quoted in a statement by the Sabah Information Department.
He said this following a courtesy visit to Yang di-Pertua Negeri Sabah Tun Musa Aman at Istana Seri Kinabalu yesterday.
He also added that more than 50 schools in Sabah had been affected by the recent floods.
"According to the data we have gathered since the floods struck Sabah, 57 schools have been impacted. As of yesterday, 14 schools in the Beaufort district remain flooded. Efforts to clean the schools where floodwaters have receded are currently in full swing," he said.
BINTULU (Feb 12): Bintulu Development Authority (BDA) has successfully cleaned 80 per cent of areas affected by the recent floods here as of 7pm on Tuesday.
BDA said their post-flood bulk waste clean-up operations targeted 45 residential and village areas. Out of these, 36 areas have been cleaned, two are still in progress, and seven are awaiting clearing.
Several parties have contributed their heavy machinery for the clean-up efforts, resulting in 1,298 truck trips to the Segan disposal site.
For disease control, the authority has conducted fogging, larviciding, and disinfection at 13 locations. BDA thanked all agencies and volunteers involved.
Separately, Bintulu MP Dato Sri Tiong King Sing said the volunteer clean-up efforts would conclude by the end of this week.
He urged residents to dispose of all waste at designated points or bins within the next few days.
“This not only makes it easier for volunteers to handle but also ensures that large vehicles like lorries can access the areas, as some residential streets may not accommodate them,” he explained.
Tiong added that this would prevent situations where volunteers clear an area, only for another mountain of rubbish to appear shortly after, stalling the progress of waste management.
After this week, he said any further waste disposal will be handled by the BDA waste collection service. “I hope everyone understands that the volunteer teams are contributing their time and effort on a voluntary basis.
“Even essential equipment such as lorries and excavators are either personally provided or coordinated by the volunteers themselves to enhance the efficiency of this clean-up operation,” said Tiong.
He acknowledged that cleaning up damaged furniture, rubbish, and waste from homes after the floods is no easy task.
Volunteer teams organised by the Progressive Democratic Party, Persatuan Persahabatan Zong Ho, and other volunteer groups have been actively assisting in cleaning various areas and transferring accumulated waste to a disposal site.
