Residents flee worst Malaysian floods in decades

By Agencies in Kuala Lumpur | China Daily | Updated: 2014-12-27 08:12

Malaysia's worst flooding in decades forced more than 105,000 people to flee as Prime Minister Najib Razak came under fire after photos showed him golfing with US President Barack Obama during the storms.

At least five people have been killed by the rising waters, and little respite was on the way on Friday, with forecasters predicting further heavy rainfall across previously unaffected southern parts of the country.

As local media carried photographs of people wading through 2-meter-deep floodwaters and entire houses submerged, the government faced criticism for not declaring a state of emergency to help devastated communities.

Seasonal flooding hits Malaysia every year and regularly forces tens of thousands from their homes, but the latest round has forced authorities to evacuate more than 100,000, mostly in the northeast, state news agency Bernama reported.

Among the dead was a man who drowned at a relief center on Christmas Eve, while a rescue boat carrying eight people including a young couple went missing after it was trapped in a whirlpool and capsized, the news agency said.

Rising floodwaters have rendered several roads unusable, and the authorities have suspended train services in some of the worst-affected areas. Communications have been badly hit by the storms.

In a rare piece of positive news, around 100 tourists who were stranded in a remote resort in central Malaysia's Mutiara Taman Negara Resort were rescued and sent to a relief center.

Najib called on rescue workers desperately trying to reach flood victims to step up their efforts to deliver food and water.

'PM needs a break'

Najib came under fire, however, when photos emerged of him playing golf with Obama in Hawaii, with Malaysians questioning why he was not at home to deal with the crisis in posts on his Facebook page.

Critics have accused his government of failing to respond quickly enough, with some lambasting the authorities for not declaring a state of emergency in the worst hit regions.

"The PM needs time to take a break," Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was quoted as saying by New Straits Times.

"He has been working very hard, so let's be fair to him as a human being. Don't worry, I'm in charge."

Yassin insisted the government had responded appropriately to the flooding, telling the newspaper: "We face floods every year, but this is looking to be the worst the country has seen in the last 30 years."

"Unless there is a total breakdown of electricity or water supplies, or if the number of evacuees rises to over hundreds of thousands, we will not declare a state of emergency."

The government warned of a heavy downpour over the next few days in parts of the country that have so far been spared the worst of the flooding, including the southern state of Johor, which neighbors Singapore.
