Metre-high wall keeps flood out of his home


IF NOT for the low wall sealing off the entrance to his house like a fort, his home would have been submerged in the dirty, smelly flood waters all over again.

While the road outside was up to the thighs in water, lorry driver Heng Kai Chin’s home in Taman Sri Rambai, Bukit Mertajam, remained relatively dry, thanks to the metre-high barrier of cement and bricks permanently enclosing his front door.
