00:20The project was out
00:22and caused the air
00:24to the ground and release
00:25the air
00:26So, I think this is really serious
00:30Although, before this, the water didn't have to go to the house
00:35But the time this, it caused the water to go to the house
00:41and caused the location around the house of the house
00:45to get rid of the water
00:47So, I didn't know that in 58 years I lived here
00:50Taman Tun was already 51 years old
00:53In 48 years I lived here, I didn't know what happened to happen
00:58I felt very confused, I felt a doubt
01:00So, according to this project, it's already been a problem for us
01:06Although it's good for the government, for a good place
01:11But I feel, although I'm in the mitigation
01:14I feel like I need to have the best and the best
01:18Because this thing is very worried
01:23For the first, like 10 houses, it actually went into the car porch

01:31Now, imagine if it's rain
01:33If the rain don't stop
01:35The hole
01:37I wouldn't see the hole, this road will be flooded
01:40Water will go into the house
01:41All because of all this development
01:44I've been complaining for years about the rain, it's too small
01:47And all this blah blah blah
01:49Writing letter to DBKL, ADU DBKL
01:52Until no one, no one bothered
01:54First they came, they called
01:57Oh, they will fix this, they will fix that
01:58After a few times, right?
02:00Didn't improve?
02:01Complain again
02:03Never, never bothered
02:10Thank you
02:11It so happened that it was a Saturday and I was home
02:14Otherwise, water just comes in
02:16And I can only be apprehensive
02:18And I see all the images and videos
02:21On our KRT's
02:26Abangajopeng WhatsApp group
02:27So it made me very apprehensive
02:29Yesterday, the waters came right in
02:31It covered half the tires of the car
02:33We couldn't move the car out
02:34And the road was sinking a little
02:37So the stones were just coming into our porch
02:39And it just brought in all the mud
02:43The waters in the drain, which is about six feet deep
02:47It was already overflowing
02:49So we couldn't go out of the house
02:51And then when we went to the back
02:53The waters had already overflowed the drain
02:56And brought all the dirt down into our drain and our backyard
03:14How about the bag?
03:15Because when we were in the water
03:15And the forest…
03:16To have a phone call
03:16So now it's started to follow the water
03:16Now for the water
