The flood waters have subsided but where are you ?

The picture below was taken at an old folks home on Jln P.Ramlee , one of the most flood prone areas in Penang .

The first time the old folks home got submerged , a kopitiam shopowner personally got people to go rescue and help clean up the place . After this second incident , a resident passed away and the operator was said to want to give up operating the homes already .

The thing is , more stories are beginning to emerge day by day .

Penangites with old folks still living here . 

WHERE ARE YOU ?

You seriously cannot expect volunteers to help clean up your parents muddy homes . They cannot afford to wait . The mud is slippery and the old folks keep falling down because their homes are wet and damp.

PLEASE COME HOME AND HELP !!!

Absolutely fake WhatsApp news on the weather in Penang 6.11.2017

This piece of news was spread over WhatsApp today . It caused almost everyone to stay away and not go out into the streets .

It spooked a lot of people out till plans were cancelled and they huddled indoors prepared for a battering .

How did I know that this was fake ? 

I didn't but there were two reasons why I ignored this .

One .

Cause anytime our MET dept predicts bad weather , it turns out the other way .

Two .

I chose to trust my own judgement by looking up at the skies .

In the end , we had a breeze driving through Georgetown . It was so peaceful , we even found a nice parking lot at a popular hawker area in the heart of the inner city before enjoying a really quiet dinner under the skies .

Aftermath of the mudflow from Granito to Taman Seri Setia ( Flat Boon Siew )

Here are unfiltered pictures of the aftermath from the mudflow which came from the direction of the condo project called Granito by BSG . On the 22nd of October 2017 , 11 people were buried alive while trying to stabilise the slope next to the hill .

During last night's mini typhoon storm which hit the island , mud and water flowed down from the hills and these are the

 devastating pictures of the aftermath which you probably won't see on other news portals since the developer seems to be very influential in getting the mainstream media not to post anything negative about them .

The water came up to waist level and it came from the hills and what you are seeing is a sequence of me going into the area from UTAR towards the Boon Siew Flats .
