1. No parking? No problem. This ingenious guy uses his porch roof to make sure his ride is safe and sound. But we wonder how he got it up there.

9. Last but definitely not the least, we have to salute this opportunist who is trying to fish in the floods. We hope he gets a massive haul!
The flood in the East Coast is gradually subsiding, with the East Coast Highway now reopened to the public. Aid is still being distributed, with many organisations going in to help with the help of 4WDs.
The East Coast Expressway route from Karak to Temerloh has been reopened to all vehicles after the flood waters have receded. Concessionaire ANIH Bhd head of communications Fazlyaton Hussein said in a statement that the road was reopened at 8am Saturday.

“They didn’t see it as ‘it is not my problem, it is your problem, but it’s our problem’. This drive shows that people still care.” Tey’s assessment was also proven by 50-odd teens and young volunteers who showed up yesterday, some as early as 5am, turning the Archdiocesan office into a hive of activity. Yesterday’s supplies represent the first phase by the Catholic Church to aid flood victims, although they had initially sent medical supplies to the East Coast last month. The next initiative will see cleaning materials such as mops being delivered to the Church of St Thomas in Kuantan, Pahang.
