DENGKIL: “We were trapped, as though on an island, we couldn’t get out because all the roads were flooded,” says a flood victim in Kampung Sri Tanjung here.

Asiah Ismail, 50, who was rescued in a boat by firemen, said the continuous heavy rain since Wednesday had caused the water to rise sharply in the village.
