Massive flood this time. I'm familiar with flooding in Jakarta, but I don't think I've seen it this big. Something really need to be done urgently or Jakarta will be completely submerged.

This was shown on television news today and it reminded me of a similar occurrence to our country three years ago when most of the metropolis was covered with flood-waters that caused huge losses and damage to lives and properties. We are still experiencing floods in various parts of our country every time it rains heavily. Our government and the private sectors continuously strive to work hand in hand to prevent or minimize losses and damages once there is a heavy rain or storm forecast however nature's wrath is beyond man's control. This is nature way of reminding people to stop all the abuses and start caring for our surroundings.
