PUTRAJAYA: Early preparedness is crucial in facing the north-east monsoon following wind surges that are shifting rain clouds towards seven districts in Sabah and Sarawak, instead of the usual impact on the east coast of the peninsula, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic).
Ahmad Zahid, who is the Central Disaster Management Committee chairman, said the phenomenon should not be taken lightly as scientific studies could not determine the exact locations likely to be affected due to global warming and climate change, which complicated such predictions.
