GEORGE TOWN: In the aftermath of yesterday's flash floods, thousands of flood victims began the arduous task of cleaning up the huge mess left behind. The flash flood at their almost century-old village, sandwiched between modern day developments, was the worst in a decade, since 2007. The ticketing staff said the neighbourhood was a flood-prone area and has been hit by flash floods quite frequently. Meanwhile, Loh Jet Siong from Farlim also lamented that yesterday's flood was the worst, causing everything in his house to be damaged. Over at Jalan P. Ramlee, Abdul Halim Che Daud, 46, lamented that two flash floods within three months caused him to suffer huge losses.
