Desaru hotels hard hit by the floods

KOTA TINGGI: Hotels in the popular beach resort of Desaru are counting their losses, which amount to an estimated half a million ringgit, no thanks to the recent floods. 

With roads leading to the resort, about 90 minutes’ drive from here, cut off by the rising waters, business was bleak during the recent Christmas period and is likely to be even worse during the coming New Year holidays.
