KEPALA BATAS: On normal days, they would go out to the sea to fish in the wee hours but come the monsoon season, fishermen are extra careful and will only venture out later in the day.

Malaysian Meteorological Department (METMsia) had issued a warning that the northeast monsoon is expected to start on Saturday, bringing with it several episodes of heavy rainfall until next March.
