Anyway, kalau sungai sudah overflow, memang tiada jalan juga tu air.

Kalau kasi dalam itu sungai apamacam bos? Boleh kah? Kos dia entah berapa…

Ttg beer, bukankah Heineken itu sejenis beer?

Makanya, please check ur own parit…, mana hujungnya, is the parit connected to another bigger one of parit, and check again is the bigger one connected to a bigger one then the first.. untill it connect to sungai…., is the respectively parit dimension correct, corect, correct? according to the Q=CIA? Pembayangnya seolah-olah seperti urat-urat dalam daun kayu. Cabang-cabang urat daun ini umpama parit2 kecil (or sungai kecil), urat daun besar yg di tengah2 tu umpamanya Sungai Moyog lah atau Longkang besar….

Andai kata anda tidak menjumpai hujung parit di rumah anda atau hujung parit yang anda jumpa hilang di semak-semak belukar tanpa timbul2 hujungnya, maka sah! Suruh kerajaan buat highway flyover di penampang dan bina rumah anda seperti Taman Babylon….

Ben, which test good for u? Beer or Heineken or any others?

This Q=CIA also used to calculated the capacity Discharge of Parit2 or longkang2 near to your resident or area. This formula can be used to design how big the longkang or parit in ur area should be construct that effective enuff to discharge the rain discharge to the nearest sungai. Kalau tidak sempat bertakung/flood setempat. Sebab ini lah yang berlaku di beberapa jalan terutama jalan Sulaman, Jalan Tuaran Lama, Jalan Lintas… mungkin juga jalan Penampang? Cuba tengok system perparitan ditempat-tempat berlaku banjir setempat ini.

Sia rasa kegagalan Drainage sytem ini adalah disebabkan mereka design dengan hanya mengambilkira rain surface runoff dari permukaan jalan raya berturap saja tanpa mengambil kira surface runoff dari kawasan berhampiran. Dimana surface runoff ini pergi selepas pembinaan jalanraya menghalang aliran asal surface runoff tadi…

Flood Discharge Formulae

Q=CIA
Q=Flowrate Discharge
C= Surface coefficient: Permukaan hutan (dengan tumbuhan permukaan yng sangat complex =0.9-1, Permukaan Jalan raya bertar or cement or botak = 0.1-0.01),
I=Intensity of Rain in Minutes
A: Catchment Area (Kawasana tadahan especially upstream.

First, to identify how big the upstream catchment (Acres) area of Penampang. The catchment arae should calculated from the kawsan yang affected banjir till to peak of bukit/gunung. The other side of bukit is already different catchment.

Second, Identify how big the kerosakan hutan (to value the C) and divide into beberapa bahagian according to the kebotakan dan kehutanan permukaan.

Third, go to meterology department, ask the pegawai, what the maximum Rain Intensity of Penampang/Moyog catchment area. Ask the Intensity Rain for Maximum 50 years return period.

Then, calculate the maximum flowrate discharge due to the Heavy rain. Calculate the capacity of flowrate discharge of penamponag/moyog river. If Flowrate discharge of Rain Surface runoff bigger then the capacity of river flowrate discharge, then definitely…. memang banjir. Lebih besar perbezaannya maka lebih cepat air sungai melimpah dan lebih cepat berlaku flash flood..

Perlu di ingat, ini baru flood pasal hujan, belum campur high tide n tarikan graviti bulan.

Faktor2 berubah… pembangunan setempat (soil erosion), maintenance sungai parit (Tumbuhan di tengah2), sampah sarap block, dasar sungai menjadi cetek, reclamation (Block aliran asal Sungai), reclamation berhampiran dengan muara pantai laut.. etc

1) The very first basic… give the nature back what the own before… upstream reforest… i heard one pokok from India (lupa namanya) have very long akar that can hold/keep the groundwater table high… meaning… that pokok could store the rainwater underground lebih lama… and only release to the sungai/stream slowly.. (no flash flood). Sungai itu akan mempunyai air yang lebih banyak (bukan melimpah) pada masa yang lebih lama… ikan2 pun buli hidup bahagia…

2)…

Amazing, that small detail more than 20 years ago you still remember. I only remember the more interesting ones. BIla saya search balik gmail tadi, masih ada pula saya punya email ttg ni di ex-SBPS yahoogroups (you should join if not yet) pada 22 Februari 2006 iaitu (saya copy n paste dari sana ni):
- Cikgu Rozaimi, during orientation week, could not find any fault with Patrick Majatig (tallest of all of us at 5′10″), so he said: “ooohhh….awak lebih tinggi daripada saya ya???”
- Kamarul Ariffin Abdul Karim (pengawas) kena tumbuk perut oleh Cikgu Halim semasa assembly pagi masa tengah-tengah nyanyi lagu Negaraku.
- Syadan Ginu’s shortest sajak: “api, kutiup, ia mati!”
- Also, Syadan has the loudest sneeze ever.
- Amir Atong, Feb 1985: “Saya bakar seluar kamu semua!!!”
- A teacher asking Mad Laju Balamu during orientation week: “Mad Laju? Laju ker? berapa saat 100 meter?”
- A teacher asking Idris Abdul (born 6th July 1971, but already in Form 4 in 1985!) during orientation week: “Hah??? 13 tahun dah tingkatan empat????”
- During a class, Mad Laju, seated right at the front of the class, sneezed and his giant, green phlegm landed on the floor, right in front of the female teacher, who could only utter an disgusted: “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…”
- Either Sapawi (now YB Datuk) or Cikgu Harun Ahmad: “saya dapati ada pelajar keluar ke bandar bagi alasan “adala.” Apa tu “adala”??? Nak beli sekotak “adala”???
- I remember one “persembahan” night in the hall, when most of the performances were boring. But one group of juniors [including apparently Sabar Lapolo] did the unthinkable, they did a “wild dance”. I thought: oooeerrr..they’d HAD it. And I was right: later I heard shrieks of pain backstage as Cikgu Halim membelasah all of them.
- I remember early 1985 where the Ketua Pengawas was changed at least 2-3 times, because he and his cronies (in the 6th form) were the gangsters, including allegedly stuffing socks into Form 1 student’s mouths. that included that Chinese-looking tall guy (forgot his name), Mohd Amir Pawenari (correct me if I’m wrong), and Jaafar Ungki. Cronies included Mohd Haljimi. At last Awang Damit Mokhtar became the Ketua Pengawas because he was the goody-goody type.
- I hope the Paulson Linggi in the news for the wrong reasons is not THE Paulson Linggi at SBPS.
- World Cup Final 1986: TV room is off limits at 3am, BUT who wouldn’t want to watch Maradona at his peak? The lashings the next day was worth it. And thank you Warden Asrama (En Harun) for at least letting us watch it; he only came in about 2 minutes before the end. I remember Majalah Sekolah (SASILA II) 1986 when Edward Pius William did a poem containing the line: “World Cup 1990 tidak begini lagi.”
- Neil Anduang Orow sneaking smokes in the locker
- I remember one occasion where a sports team from another school came to SBPS to have a match. We were astonished when we saw one of their students smoking openly in the padang. Ahmad Rhobinuddin had that incredulous look on his face when he shouted “HOOIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!”

————————————

I hope I put a smile to your face by the above… dalam forum tu yang hebat-hebat dulu pun ada tambah: Hednan Hassan, Adilun Nurun, Shahrunizam etc

OK enuf of that. Now:
- looking forward to what you think are what’s needed to solve or minimise flash flooding in Penampang.
- has such suggestions been done before, and submitted to relevant parties?
- what happened to the suggestions?

And since both of u are my friend, i stay there for a while to see what will happen soon.., i saw ur hand bergetar (gagaran) and Appollo Chan also look like confuse… with his two small mirrors (Cermin muka) kiri kanan. But the good is u still have the spirit/energy to continue the cutting and Appollo also still give u the 100% trust eventhough sometimes his mata pandai membesar bila melihat dua side mirror / cermin muka nya.

Last2, i cant stand anymore, sia ketawa kuat2 and asked the gunting from u and gunting rambut c Appollo. The moment sia start mengunting, c Appollo bilang.. ahh… ini bunyi baru macam bunyi gunting mengunting… and dia kasi turun pegangan cermin2nya kebawah and he didnt curious anymore to see how his kepala rambut to be cut off.

And Ben u remember? the moment sia siapkan gunting rambut c Appollo, ada 5 orang pelajar sdh menunggu di belakang bebaris minta gunting. I still remember the 5 Kepala finish in 15 munites. I had to finish it fast coz mao gelap sdh and i told the 5 friends that for that moment its will be ok. Tommrow come see me and i kasi santik2.., for today is only to cut minimum to avoid being cut ‘BARUT’ by the guru displine. And Ben, till then.. sia selalu saja sibuk menggunting rambut fellow students… and thats why actually y at first i didnt tell u…pasal gunting..mengunting…

And u know … U are one of my greatest guru Mathematic Tambahan..

Arios..
