Flash floods after a heavy downpour hit eight areas in Petaling Jaya in March 2022, including here in section 51, on March 8.

Overnight, we now have an army of local experts on Russian-Ukrainian relations. On social media, these keyboard warriors aggressively fire off their viewpoints. Some rage that the West and Nato (the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) have fomented this crisis that began with Russians forces moving into Ukraine on Feb 24, 2022. Or they pontificate with authority about Ukrainian history.
So much heated opinion for an issue not directly affecting us (yet). I wonder how many followed this issue previously – maybe they just Googled their knowledge last week!
