No turmoil over tide

No panic: Villagers in Kampung Batak Rabit near Teluk Intan are going on with their daily lives even though authorities are expecting the king tide to hit the village this week.

AUTHORITIES have warned villagers and also travellers to stay away from coastal areas near the mouth of Sungai Perak due to the expected “king tide” phenomenon but some villagers in Kampung Batak Rabit are unfazed.

A king tide is an especially high tide that occurs only a few times a year.
