Floods, again: Floods are such a regular occurrence at Taman Sungai Rambai in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, that there is a floodwater marker in the area. This flood was in October this year. — MUSTAFA AHMAD/The Star

THE floods are here again.

Rising waters have forced thousands of people from their homes and into relief centres in Kelantan, Terengganu and parts of Johor. Heavy downpours also shut down the Lawas Airport in northern Sarawak after the runway was flooded on Thursday.
