Floods Everywhere...

I was told two days ago that many parts of my hometown were flooded. Well, I knew about how easily my kampung gets flooded when the big river (Kanarom) overflowed. But it seems to me that the floods get worse every year. Many people got "trapped".

I used to remember when I was a boy. Flood times were the most exciting moments. But that happened once in a while. I mean, not every year. But now, it happens every year! I guess it never missed. Has there been a drastic change in the climate? I believe there has been some changes in the past decade. Floods become more often. And I wonder what would become of my little hometown in the near future...It gets advanced in terms of facilities, I suppose. But packaged to that is the risk of natures being violated.

And what about the floods around Malaysia? Almost every state in Malaysia has been hit by floods...small scale or big scale, it doesn't matter. News tells us that some were hit badly, which involved the lost of lives and properties. And again, what about the floods around the world? China...Sri Lanka...even some parts of America gets flooded. Floods everywhere in this globe.

What concern me with this trend is that the future is not secure anymore. What I mean by that? Well, we don't know how much longer we may live without natural disaster? Disasters can hit anytime...and that can happen without warning.

Many people talk about global warming. Scientists warned governments about it. Here in Malaysia, the subject may not yet contribute an alarmed concern to the public...at least not in full scale. Some discussed about it. Some are very concerned about it. Some don't bother at all. But this one thing I noticed...every one is complaining, one time or another, that it's hot! The temperature of the country has increased within only two decades. If this trend continues, what would become of Malaysia?

How long...? Something has to be done. But how? Humans effort and power are very limited. Don't we need some "thing" that is of superhuman origin to help us?
