Teacher Madeline Jok, Retired Teacher from Long Panai
*Where is YB Gerawat? Long Panai Flood Victims Struggle Without Aid*
Teacher Madeline reports that it has been the 4th day since Long Panai Baram village was hit by floods. But it is sad that there is no help from the Welfare Department or the district office. YB Kawasan Datuk Gerawat Gala (GPS) - don't know where he is. Directly there is no heart to help us - said Cikgu Madeline. During our election this was a strong supporter and gave him victory. But when we're in this kind of trouble, he doesn't appear at all. While RFS interviewed Ms. Madeline. He is standing on the water - calf level. Three blocks of long houses in long panai with 132 doors were flooded on the ground floor and residents unloaded their goods upstairs. If the water rises again. We don't know where to run, said Cikgu Madeline Jok. Last year the village of Long Panai was hit by floods 7 times. But this year is a little less. We request YB Gerawat, the welfare department and related parties to come and send us food aid. Because in a little while our rice supply will run out. Not only were our lives threatened, our livestock and farms were flooded. In peninsular Malaysia when there is a flood disaster. Aid was quickly received and cash aid was also given to residents to ease the burden of flood victims. The residents produced a video to inform the outside world of the flood disaster that submerged their village.
