Part 6/7:
In Malaysia's northern Perlis State, the floodwaters have turned fields into a sea of water, submerging acres of farmland. Farmers have faced devastating losses; one farmer laments, “The rains have completely ruined my fields.” The agricultural sector, vital to the region’s economy and food security, faces a long road to recovery.
The Road Ahead
Across Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia, relief and rescue efforts continue amid the scale of the disaster. However, with hundreds still missing and millions affected, Southeast Asia faces an arduous journey toward recovery. The prolonged nature of the floods and the destruction of infrastructure highlight the urgent need for sustained aid, rebuilding efforts, and climate resilience measures.
