PETALING JAYA: For neighbours Shaharuddin Ibrahim and Datin Mahani Ahmad Aziz, Mother Nature’s fury and man’s folly combined to give them a night they would never forget.

It was the night of Dec 18 and like many parts of the country, a torrential downpour had left their homes in Batu 14 Hulu Langat inundated.

Recounting the night’s experience, Shaharuddin said the water level at his single-storey house had risen to knee level by 9pm.

It was then that a neighbour invited him, his wife and their two grandsons to his home a short distance away.

However, three hours later, the water level was already chest high and Shaharuddin was forced to take his family to an office nearby where they sought shelter on the roof.

WASHINGTON (BLOOMBERG) – The United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday (Jan 4) reclassified its Covid-19 travel advisory for Singapore, guiding Americans to avoid travel to the South-east Asian nation because the level of the disease there is “unknown”.

“Because the current situation in Singapore is unknown, even fully vaccinated travellers may be at risk for getting and spreading Covid-19 variants,” the CDC said in its advisory.

On its website, the CDC said it uses Covid-19 data reported by the World Health Organisation and other official sources to make determinations about Travel Health Notice (THN) levels.
