Early warning system needed for unusual weather

PETALING JAYA: The “late alert” given to the public about the current unusual weather conditions has been questioned by Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, who proposes that Malaysia set up a credible early warning system on such phenomena.“Malaysia should have such a system to inform everybody in a regular and timely fashion,” said the chairman of Alliance For Safe Community, a civil society organisation.

He said many parts of the country had been experiencing unusual weather patterns over the last two days.
