Four killed after torrential hillside gush, adding to flood’s destruction

ALOR SETAR: “Everything happened so fast. We’re really shocked by the intensity of the flood water gushing into our house,” exclaimed businessman Muhamad Taufiq Rodzali.

That was how 32-year-old Taufiq described Wednesday’s incident where all he and his family could do was to move their cars to higher ground and quickly take shelter on the second floor of their double-storey house in Kampung Ruat in Yan.
