It is a beautiful steel bench but it is most of the time empty.Many people come here to walk or jog along this less than 1km riverside walk.How, I wish it is at least 5km or all the way from Tambatan D'Raja to TESCO.It is not only for walking but for cycling as well.
Sitting on this bench I felt sad and helpless just like this lady standing by the rails and watch the river flows.Kelantan River is a very big river with a few tributaries that cover the vast catchment areas of districts of Pasir Mas, Tanah Merah, Machang, Kuala Krai and Gua Musang. In the recent BIG flood 2014, flood damage amounted to more than one billion ringgit.
The flooded plains and swollen rivers took everything that could flood downstream.From the photos and the videos taken, they shocked me of what was happening upstream in the catchment areas.All the bad things done due to human ignorance and greeds were revealed to all and sundry.
We just watched the river flows as this lady was wondering what the brown water carries downstream daily to the sea.
As time passes by, the memory of the raging flood water subsides and most people had forgotten about it except those families who were badly affected when their families members lost their lives or properties.
