'Disaster tourists' clogging up roads, hampering relief efforts

Jalan Padang Garong in Kota Baru is clogged with traffic, mostly from outside the state.

KUALA KRAI: A large number of people are converging in Kelantan, bringing welcome aid to the flood victims. There’s another large number that is coming in – but they are not welcome.

These are the sightseers who want to see for themselves the scenes of flood devastation, who post selfies and other “I was there” pictures on their Facebook pages or Twitter timelines.
