It rained and it rained like no other in Kuala Lumpur today. The raindrops are huge. I believe ten drops is all it takes to drench you. Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a bit but the sky really pours today.

I heard there’s hailstorm on the other part of town. Hailstorms are rare in Malaysia. There must be evil doings by someone in this place to deserve the wrath of nature of this kind. Flashflood instantly occurs in numerous parts of the city due to inefficient drainage system that has been a problem for decades.

The thunderstom today coincides with the announcement that the toll will be higher for the Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel (SMART Tunnel) by our Works Minister, Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu.

The tunnel is the first in the world which has a dual function. Besides being a road tunnel, it will also be used for flood water diversion. Motorists would be able to use it for free for a month.

I believe the lightning wanted to strike someone today, somehow it misses. The day he die will be the day I celebrate.
