KUALA BERANG: Fed up after seeing his livestock swept away by floods, a senior citizen decided to take matters into his own hands and built a floating pen to house his animals and prevent further losses from the impending northeast monsoon.

Mohd Sulong, 73, said his bitter experience of losing thousands of ringgit after his livestock was swept away in a flood made him, despite his ill health, decide to build a pen on a raft.
