Johor Centenial Flood Part 2: KUiTTHO

yesterday i attended a meeting at KUiTTHO.. after woke up at 6 in the morning n a 3 n 1/2 hours drive.. to my shocking surprise the campus of Kolej-Universiti Teknologi Hussein Onn at Parit RAja, BAtu Pahat was flooded with water..

my first reaction was.. FUCK..!!! i made a wasted trip.. after much phone calls the meeting was confirmed still on and was held at one of the meeting rooms in the new Phase where it was not flooded.. after some internal road i managed to find my way into the campus n attend the meeting dry..

the reason of why the day was sunny n warm the water still isnt receeding yet maintaining n climbing its level was.. a. just after a flood, b. previously the rain was in huge amount and c. Sembrong dam was releasing its guts..

Sembrong dam was recording additional 0.8 meter high.. in order to put the dam back to safety zone.. the dam was forced to open releasing its water out... thus leaving the Parit Raja n parts of BAtu Pahat continue to flood..

and KUiTTHO is one of the casualty..

the site office where the meeting supposed to be help was island-ed by the water.. the lake behind the building was overflowing with water thus surround the lower land area around the office.. thus creating "Site Office Island" an island that non of the contractor n me would love to visit... only Pajero, 4x4 and canoe.. yes.. canoe can access the office..

the water level got higher through the day.. probably due to the dam reducing water level.. but it was drastic like it floods the whole area... just bout another 1" or 2 increase in height.. which honestly doesnt make much difference in such situation.

so KUiTTHO was closed yesterday n today.. allowing staffs n students to go home as it wasnt possible for the teaching n administration works to go on...

hope that situation in KUiTTHO will get better soon..
