Flooding in Malaysia

This was the scene in Port Dickson in the state of Negeri Sembilan where we were just over a week ago, with a grey threatening sky. Now it turns out that southern Malaysia has had the worst rains in a century, six people have died and 60,000 displaced as a result. Th erains have hit Sumatra as well, with eighty people dead, just two yeras after the tsunami. Our thoughts are with them this Christmas.
