Matu Flood - Views From Above

It's the 10th day today, Feb 7 and water level has subsides, though at snail-pace. Fine weather since yesterday has brought down the level an inch a day! And fine weather yesterday has also given me a helicopter view of the situation with Mukah Resident, Tuan Hj. Abdullah Jamil, courtesy of YB Datuk Abdul Wahab Hj. Dollah, Member of Parliament for P207 Igan who was on his flood visit here.

So here's some views of the situation on Feb 6. Though water level has subsides, most areas are still surrounded by water, at 1 - 2 feet above road level so boats is still the way of the day in the affected areas.

Matu Bazaar - all roads still under water

The government quarters and office area. The Clinic, Agriculture office and
Pos Malaysia are only accessible by boat. The District Office is on the top left.

Hoping that the situation will be back to normal soon and our children
will be back to catch up what they have missed for the past week(s).
