BATU PAHAT: While the flood situation in Johor has started showing signs of improvement, some here are keeping their guards up in fear of a second wave.
Farmer Abd Malik Muhammad, 44, said their fear stemmed from a bad experience they went through some 17 years ago when their homes were hit by floods twice within a few weeks.
He added that while the floodwaters near his village seemed to have started receding since Thursday, he will not keep his hopes up. Meanwhile, Anas Ramli, 21, who works in an oil palm plantation, said he is worried that his income would be affected further if a second wave of floods were to hit the area.
“This means I have zero income right now and if there is a second wave, things will be so much worse,” he added.
