A Malaysian farmer in Perlis, 38-year-old Body Sombun, says he feels “sadness beyond words” after devastating floods submerged his family’s 1.4-acre paddy field, leaving nothing behind but mud and water. The field, passed down through generations, now appears “like a sea,” he says.<br />Tropical cyclone–driven rains have triggered severe flooding across Malaysia’s northern states, killing at least two people and forcing thousands into evacuation centres. Neighboring Thailand has reported at least 33 deaths. Perlis and Kedah—Malaysia’s vital rice-growing regions—have been hit especially hard, placing livelihoods and national rice production at risk.<br /><br /><br />#Malaysia #Floods #Perlis #Kedah #PaddyField #ClimateImpact #MalaysiaNews
