Monsoon deluge begins a month early


Wheeling and reeling: Darus Mat Rendah, 64, being pushed through knee-deep water by his daughter-in-law Rusmadi, 32, at their house in Kampung Selabak near Teluk Intan, Perak.

PETALING JAYA: The heavy rainfall and flooding have come a lot earlier than expected, considering that last year's northeast monsoon season only started a full month later.

“We were expecting the rainfall to come early, but not this early,” said National Security Council secretary Datuk Mohamed Thajudeen Abdul Wahab.
