PAKA: The worsening flood conditions and rapidly rising water levels in Kampung Pinang Merah here forced two families to take swift action to ensure the safety of their loved ones.
Anuar Ahmad, 48, had to wade through waist-deep water for about 100 metres in the rain with his family to carry his wheelchair-bound father-in-law, Abdul Ghani, 83, to the car and evacuate him to the temporary relief centre at Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Nyior, located about three kilometres from their home.
