Published at Jan 29, 2025 03:47 pm
(Miri 29th) Miri has experienced continuous heavy rain recently, coupled with rising tides, leading to severe waterlogging in  Miri Pujut Padang Kerbau. Some households have water as deep as 2 feet, reaching the residents' knees, severely impacting daily life.

Persistent heavy rain has caused water intrusion into multiple homes in Niu Chang Village, forcing villagers to wade through water. Some cars parked outside are also submerged.

Faced with the unexpected floods, some residents have resorted to using small boats or makeshift floats to get around in the flooded areas, creating an unusual scene.

As the heavy rain continues unabated, the water level may keep rising. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and ensure that electrical appliances and important belongings are properly stored to prevent greater loss due to the flood. Meanwhile, authorities also advise the public to reduce outdoor activities and avoid wading through water to prevent accidents.
