Meals on wheels Ti-Ratana (MOW) to  CAMERON HIGHLANDS FLOOD on Sunday 10 November 201
The Cameron Highland flood caused Ringlet town, Ringlet New Village and Kampung Ulu Merah Ringlet to be submerged in knee-deep muddy water after continuous heavy rain causes Sungai Ringlet to overflow its banks.



 We purchased 1) Towels 2) Blankets 3) Canned Food 4) Biscuit5) Soap and took along with us donated goods.

We left at 5.30am on the 'Baby Van' where else 'Mama Van' left earlier at 4.30am.

It was a bright and sunny day and the Ketua Kampung received us warmly, taking us around the affected area. It was a very a heartbreaking scene.

The lucky ones tare able to clean their house to move back into their home,  some unfortunately have to vacate and the leaving the rest with destroyed homes.


The community hall of Taman ringlet was used as a temporary shelter for those who are unable to move back into their home.

After unloading all the goods, we prepare ourselves to give a helping hand to the victims' house and all the road, pathways that is blocked with rubbish, debris and mud.
