Showers of blessing up north

Blessings in abundance: Egrets searching for food in the water-filled padi fields after the rain in Bukit Mertajam.

ALOR SETAR: The almost daily showers in many parts of the northern region could not have come at a better time, especially for padi farmers, says Datuk Mahfuz Omar.

The Farmers’ Organisation Authority Kedah chairman described the recent regular rainfall as a blessing because it came just in time for the replanting season.
