The last time I heard this town's in flood was last Dec, when I was in Singapore -- oh well what to do? It's been going on for the past few years; if you can't be the solution, be a part of the problem LOL <em>The BN has promised to handle the proble. hopefully there will be results :)</em> Didn’t realize Sibu’s in flood AGAIN.

First and foremost, nothing can be done to rectify this matter since we are so close to the River unless they can block the water from coming into out section of the river. So no matter how high they patch or build the roads, Sibu will still flood. And if they make the roads even higher.. I'm just wondering what will happen to the shophouses and residences? Can they jack it up? That would be a sight to see. Secondly, due to Global Warming, we now have more water to contend with since it will only flow to where there is space to go. The worst scenario or best one would be that one day Sibu would be another Venice! <em>Ah Venice ...t sounds so romantic :)</em> The problem of floods in Sibu is an issue since the first day, our forefathers stepped onto it to build a town.

Same problem in some parts of UK where they are near a river or where there are sudden influx of new housing. <em>this is not a city where excessive built up areas cause the problem :)</em> After making the comment above, I believe that there many be too many new houses built at some point and therefore the drainage is unable to cope or it could be a definite sign of global warning!

Everybody can do something to ease the environmental problem! (And in case, you're wondering, my electricity bill used to be RM200-300 every month...and last month it was over RM100, and this month, over RM60!!! Reduce! Reduce!
