Raining "Cats & Dogs"

With a heavy downpour for approximately about 15 minutes, Kuching roads are nearly submerged in water!! Why oh why??? The simple reason being no proper drainage!! The rain water have no way to go, so........ it will flow all over - as simple as that! Some roads can be seen fully covered with the rain water, it is as if it has been raining for hours.

What happens if this year's landas season really do come???? What will become of Kuching City??? It might be worst than the flood three to four years ago, where many homes in the heart of the city are being submerged in water and many affected people lost their belongings. I really don't dare to think of it........ but, I still remember a song taught by my Primary School teacher, here's the lyric.........

Kuching's flooding, Kuching's flooding,
Get a sampan, get a sampan,
Keep on rowing, Keep on rowing!

I think all Kuching Folks will still remember this song as well as it's tune........ Hope the authorities concerned will see to this problem before it is too late....... "Prevention is better than cure!"
