KEPALA BATAS: The glowing faces of the farmers in Kampung Rantau Panjang near here are a far cry from the sad and worried expressions they carried for the past month after massive floods all but destroyed their livelihood.
While the aid that the 20 farmers received was enough to make them smile, the fact that it was Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi who was distributing the sacks of padi seeds, fish fry and even goats at his first official function as Prime Minister made the event all the more special.
