Bad day for Kuching - Flood that killed lives

KUCHING: Continuous downpour over the last 12 hours coupled with the king tide phenomena has led to heavy flooding in various parts of the city here, and leaving two people missing.

The affected areas include Batu Kawah, Batu Lintang, Sungai Maong, Iris Garden and Satok. Many roads are impassable to small vehicles.

At the flyover from the Kuching international airport, motorists reported that all four lanes heading towards the city are jammed.

From midnight until just past noon Thursday, most of the Malaysian Meteorological Department's stations recorded rainfall of above 150mm. The highest was at the Third-Mile station here, which recorded 208mm.

According to the department, the average daily rainfall for Sarawak this month should be around 50mm while the month's average is usually about 450mm.

In Batu Lintang, two persons reported missing due to the floods have been identified as Form Six student Kho Yong Qi and petrol station cashier Herman Sihas, 29.

It is learnt that Kho fell into a drain in front of the petrol station after she left her mother's car which had stalled.

Herman and a Fire and Rescue Department staff, Talib Awi, who happened to be at the station, saw the girl struggling in the water and went to help.

Talib had grabbed her by the hair while Herman leapt into the drain.

Talib held on for about three minutes until a strong current dragged the girl and Herman away.

A large scale search and rescue operation is now being carried out.

A state flood operations room spokesman said they have also received reports of floods in the residential areas of Dewa Wira and Stapok.

"Several residents have moved out of their homes," he added.

Today is indeed a bad day for Kuching and Kuchingnites. Many places flooded, roads jammed everywhere and people die. If the rumor is correct, Kho Yong Qi's body has been found. May she rest in peace if its so. But since there is still no news that her body has been found, so there might still be a chance that she is alive. So, let's pray for her. As for Herman, I heard that he is save. But these are just rumors from the web. Hopefully both of them are alright.

Sarawak ICT Expo 2011

Sarawak ICT expo is here again. But as usual, I believe that there will NOT be any real price drop in this expo. The ICT expo in Kuching is more to dozens of computer shop grouped together in a place to sell computer stuffs. There is no great discount, there is no new attractive stuff. Whether it's PIKOM PC fair or it's Sarawak ICT Expo, they are all the same dumb expo. Unlike Singapore and Taiwan or any other places, when they are having an ICT Expo, there will be models dressing in costumes, big promotion, big price drop and so on. That is what I call a real ICT fair.

In Singapore, the price of an item that cost few thousands SGD can have a price drop of few hundreds SGD. But in Kuching, if you can see a price drop of RM200 for a few thousands laptop, you should LAUGH TILL DIE already. Remember, they are using SGD and we are using RM and SGD 1 = RM 2.44.

The best example that I can give is this.

Do you know that the original number behind the paper is 4? That is, the original price of that laptop was SGD 1499. But during the ICT expo, the price dropped SGD 400 or about RM 980. This thing never happen in Kuching expo. This is a shame to Kuching ICT expo and computer shops. Why I know? Because I bought one at the price of SGD 1499 2 weeks before the expo. Dame! Went to Singapore at a wrong time. I have told myself to take revenge at next year Singapore ICT expo. Must go there to wipe them out.

Back to the topic. Have a look at the details about this expo below. The poster looks nice, but I wonder if the deal are as nice as the poster or not. By the way, shutlle services will be provided at reasonable price from 'The Hills Shopping mall' and 'Wisma Saberkas'. The details are in the poster.
