Single mother Che Gayah went back to her house yesterday for the first time in five days after last weekend’s devastating floods in Penang to soaked mattresses, a broken bed frame, and mud-stained clothes, books and furniture. <br /> <br />But, the worst for her was the zinc roof, half of which had been blown away in a storm that struck the state on Saturday and left large parts of the mainland flooded. <br /> <br />“It won’t be cheap. I don’t care about furniture or electrical appliances. How am I going to live with only half a roof over my head? ” said the 59-year-old when met at her home in Kampung Petani, Merbau Kudung, Permatang Pauh, on mainland Penang. <br /> <br />She was in the midst of watching members of PAS’ Unit Amal, or volunteer corp, who were helping to clean her house, as well as others in the village. <br /> <br />She had just returned from the community hall in Merbau Kudung that was turned into an evacuation centre. <br /> <br />Full story: http://bit.ly/2zxMzyC <br /> <br />Website: https://www.themalaysianinsight.com <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themalaysianinsight <br />Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/msianinsight/ <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msianinsight/
