Water surge nightmare still haunts villagers

ALOR SETAR: Abd Rahman Said gets tense, and his heart beats faster whenever it rains heavily. And he would pray.

The 72-year-old lost his wife Salmah Mat Akib, 53; stepson Mohd Khairul Ikhwan Nor Azman, 14; and daughter-in-law Nurul Anis Abu Hassan, 23, in the floods and water surge incident in Kampung Iboi, Baling, in July last year. Nurul Anis was four months’ pregnant.
