GUA MUSANG, May 21 — About 500 Orang Asli residents in Kampung Pasir Linggi and Kampung Machang in Pos Lebir here have been suffering from water shortages for three weeks. The residents claimed that the problem is caused by tap water reservoir supply, which keeps drying up due to the hot weather, making supply insufficient for daily use. A resident, Amoi Latif, 55, said the situation has forced her to fetch water every day from the river, which is more than 500 metres away from her settlement.

Gisborne has set a new weather record on reaching the end of the eighth month in what has been a bizarre and devastating year for weather. With no rain over the past few days, it means it has been the driest August on record for Gisborne, going back 135 years. The month ended with a total of just 16.5 millimetres in the rain gauge. The 30-year average for August is 86.5mm, meaning the month has missed out on just over 80 percent of its normal rainfall. This is the driest August recorded at any of the Gisborne rain gauge sites since 1878, including the harbour, private gauges and the official MetService gauge at the airport.

The heat nowadays is debilitating; the word that comes to mind is not just 'init,' but 'banas,' which, like the heat index, also factors in humidity. For most, the heat is just an inconvenience—one that causes sweat and discomfort; one that drives people to escape to the refuge of air-conditioned malls. But for some, it can be a health threat; in one city alone—Cabuyao, Laguna—83 students were supposed to have been hospitalized last March 23 due to heat exhaustion during fire and earthquake drills.

They say that walking is good for the health. Yes. I heard about a lady who started walking at the age of 65 … up to now she is still walking! And she is nowhere to be found! —————- In today's Gospel (Matthew 14:22-33), we hear how Peter walked on the water, but soon started to sink because of his little faith. Don't we all experience sinking? As we journey through waves of trials and tribulations, like Peter, we must turn to the Lord and say: 'Lord, save me!' May I add: 'Lord, increase my faith in you!' —————- Peter conquered his fear and walked on the water because he was focused on the Lord.

Australian allrounders keep thriving in the Indian Premier League, with Mitch Marsh the latest to follow the heroics of Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis with a thumping player of the match display. The only problem for Marsh was that his heroics with both bat and ball at their home Arun Jaitley Stadium all came frustratingly to nought as the IPL's basement side, Delhi Capitals, lost once again under David Warner's stewardship on Saturday. Not that Warner's powerhouse Australian teammate, who had previously not enjoyed the best of tournaments, could be blamed for this one.
