Stranded on the highway


At the mercy of the monsoon: Residents of Felda Sungai Retang are cut off by floods after continuous rains.

KUANTAN: Travellers using the East Coast Highway (LPT) Phase 1 were forced to turn around or postpone their journeys following the road closure at KM198.8, east and west bound, near Gambang and Sri Jaya.

Retiree Mohamed Radhi Samat, 64, said he was still looking for an alternative route back to Shah Alam, Selangor, after being informed of the road closure at the LPT Phase 1 (LPT1) yesterday morning and the old Kuantan-Kuala Lumpur road due to floods.
