Location, location, location. The location of Sibu is blamed for the recent series of super floods in Kampua Town. It sounded like a generic desperate excuse because the next thing the officials can blame is God. But judging from the map, the claim may be logical. Situated near the Rejang Basin, Kampua Town is susceptible to flooding whenever there's a King Tide. The feng shui is just not there I guess. It was just a matter of time when the river will claim the town due to the siltation and erosions along the river. The loggings around Sibu and of course, the occasional sand theft is helping Sibu to become the next Venice, or better; Atlantis. Oh let's not forget the Great Global Warming that is increasing the sea level. Looking at the odds, I think we should start saving our money to buy boats and not Toyota Ninja King...

u should start a label of 'flood' It's not only the problem of the river and the rain, it's also the problem of the drainage system in sibu, after the flood supposedly gone edi last few days the area behind my house still remain in water because the rain water isn't going anyway, just from the colour of the water u can tell is it flood or merely the inefficient drainage system, those drain 365 look like a river~
i heard from unconfirmed sources that the bakun dam at belaga overflowed due to the heavy downpour upriver. can anybody confirm this info? heard that its gonna get worse....
