He was just standing on this pole, with a cheeky smile, watching me walk around knee deep through the flood waters in a small village in Kemaman.
“Why don’t you play in the water like the other kids?”
“I don’t want to.”
“Why?”
“This is sewage water… there it’s behind you.”

Kemaman is a district in Terengganu, Malaysia.
