Something to ponder on

These are some of the harsh reality pictures captured on some parts of Johor that was struck with flood on the second time around. Twice heavily flooded in less than a month (is it?) is definitely not good. There must be something wrong somewhere. There were so many theories as to why it happened in the first place. One of them is even predicted some 3-4 years ago. Hmm...

Looking at those pictures, one can understand the toll it has taken on the Johoreans and why politicians should make it a BIG fuss instead of focusing on the Visit Malaysia 2007 promotional tourism. It seems that our media has also played down the news on the catastrophe that befallen our fellow Malaysians in that regional part. Maybe it will scare the tourists away, I presume?

It is heartening to note that some of our fellow bloggers and residential communities have chipped in some donations in the form of clothings, basic essential items and monetary support to the thousands of Johorean affected by the massive flood. There are too many of them to mention here but whoever or wherever you are, you are all heroes!
