NSTnation: “I believe all cats are a blessing, and feeding them is a sedekah (charity).”
Zaimi Abd Aziz, 39, said that he went back with his wife, Siti Zawiyah Komeng, 34, during the school holidays, and the prolonged rainfall caused floodwaters in the kitchen to rise to about 1m.
His father-in-law took shelter at a nearby temporary relief centre, while he and his family returned home to Segamat. “When I came back later to monitor the situation at my father-in-law’s house, I was shocked to see 35 stray cats taking shelter at the house.Zaimi said since the flood situation improved, the number of cats taking shelter in the house had decreased to just 10, and he continued to feed them.In Temerloh, the villagers used boats to transport their goats from flood-prone areas.
Ahamad Firdaus Abd Latif, 36, said the water level at Sungai Semantan rose abruptly, forcing the villagers to relocate their livestock. “All 150 goats have been relocated to a temporary shelter on a higher ground located 800m from the river. We had to use boats because some stretches of the road have been inundated,” he said.Related stories
