Even the roof wasn't high enough, says Kuantan flood victim


KUANTAN: A man who was with his son thought it was safe to wait on the roof of their house for rescue, but even that was not high enough to escape rising floodwaters.

Sahadan Ibrahim, 54, said he and his son, Fikri, 21, were caught in the flood at Kampung Batu Sawar in Bukit Kuin here and decided to climb to the roof of their house when floodwaters started rising at 11pm on Saturday (Dec 18) and began rising sharply at 2pm on Sunday (Dec 19).
