Floods kill 3 in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR (DPA): A tropical storm that battered northern
Malaysia over the weekend caused widespread flooding and killed
three people, including a two-week-old infant whose cradle was
blown away by strong winds, news reports said yesterday.

The worst-hit districts were in Kedah state, where hundreds of
villagers were evacuated as heavy rains caused widespread
flooding in low-lying areas.

Ferry services to several islands off Kedah, including
Langkawi resort island, were briefly suspended Saturday because
of rough sea conditions.
