BATU PAHAT: When floods hit Kampung Parit Warijo here and the road leading to her house was inundated in water about 1m deep, Nur Akifa Naila Ewan Najib, 10, was worried that she would have to skip school for days.

However, she was able to get to class thanks to a boat that her father, Ewan Najib Sukarno, 46, inherited from his grandmother.
