Man against Mother Nature

Asalammualaikum Semua...

Last week ( still on now) , our friends down south are facing the wrath of mother nature..." Banjir". Most of us must have read the extend of damage caused by extremely heavy rain ... some said it was the heaviest rains Johor had encountered over the past 100 years. The heavy rainfall was brought by strong winds from the South China Sea and western part of the Pacific Ocean, the after-effect of Typhoon Utor which hit the Philippines recently.

Those affected families were left with the very basic necessity. Luxuries was washed away by water, electricity was cut, no internet access, no shopping center, let alone entertainment. They had to face the risk of diseases, lose wild animals ( crocs) and even death. While we were comfortably sitting in our air-condition living room, sipping hot milo , watching the news from our newly purchased Sony Bravia LCD TV 32'.... ohhhing our sympathy of their misery. How does it help them, i asked myself..... its up to you to do something about it....

Wasalam....
