The flood situation in the southern states of Malaysia such as Johor and Malacca are having the first time high rising flood in decades. Condolences to all the family and people involve in the flood situation. Please do remember that your life is the most important of all not your belongings.

Some pointers on actions to do during a flood:

1. Look for rising water. Remember that the most important thing to do when the water reaches half a feet is to get you important documents and important things in your car and go to higher places. Please lock your house when you leave!
2. Evacuate the elders and children first.
3. Come back later by foot (if you know how to swim) to move your valuable things to higher places.
   
4. Evacuate your house if the water rises up to the waist level. Do not take chance. Do not go to the second floor. You will be trapping yourself.
   
5. Be careful of fast moving water when wading in the water. Move in groups to for security purposes.

The total rainfall is in Peninsular Malaysia for the past few days. Danger alert!

Look at the better side of life. Nothing can be done or predicted from natural disaster. What are damages the flood caused has been caused. At least we are still breathing and we can still obtain the things we have with this two strong arms and a strong will.
