How do we prevent the floods?


Fluid changes: What was once a children’s playground is now becoming a retention pond. Hopefully, it will keep the flood waters away.

MY friend Jay is finally driving his car – the engineer has been repairing it by himself for the last one year – but his cousins have not been so lucky.

They have two vehicles in the workshop. They have paid RM45,000 for the repairs – RM30,000 for one and RM15,000 for the other – and are still paying instalments on the two cars they have not used for one year.
