Skudai floods: Mom climbs onto roof with four children to flee rising water


JOHOR BARU: A mother and her four children, including a four-month-old baby, were forced to climb up the roof of their house in Kampung Laut Batu 10, Skudai, to escape the floodwater following a two-hour heavy downpour on Saturday (Aug 20) afternoon.

Hairul Badariah Zakariah, 39, said climbing onto the roof was the only way she could think of because she was too worried when the water level began to rise rapidly.
