It has been a real glut in the weather for the pass few months. Scorching sun dries up fast the green lungs of lush Malaysia's tropical climate which receives one of the highest rain falls in the world.
Dry spell isn't going to move away any time soon. Seremban's water reserve now in critical stage followed by other states as well. Water ration in the pipeline any time soon?
Unusual draught causes sporadic bush fires, compounded with public's lackadaisical attitude when they indulge in direct open burning.
The most busiest department is Civil Defence's Fire Department. Their round the clock standby and rushing to doze off many raging bush fires around town was so evident when the brigades sirens can be heard almost on a daily basis. The often disquiet department now springs out alive to be our hero to cool off fire sparks.
Even animals and birds to felt the heat quite hard to stand. Flock of crows took deep on a pool of water made by rotating host meant to water large grass field affront Klebang beach, Melaka.
However, "ice-kacang", "chendol", fruit juice sellers and cool drinks vendors are having brisk sales. In-law introduced me to a tasty "Lou Hoon Kua" drink sold by a famous local street vendor near Melaka city. I don't mind having the "cawan panas" LHKto quench my thirst before heading to another famous bean curd stall for ginger-brown sugar bean curd. By the way the ginger is from Seremban!!
