Home Saved From Coastal Erosion: Community Rallies to Prevent Collapse

Coastal Erosion Threat Averted: Malaysian Home Saved After Successful Reinforcement Project A house in Kampung Tanjung Batu Rakit, Malaysia, has been saved from collapsing into the sea thanks to a timely reinforcement project. The home, owned by Mohamad Yazid, suffered significant erosion in December 2024, losing over 85 meters of land due to strong monsoon waves. The project, which began on May 21st, 2025, involved extensive work to stabilize the land around the house. "It wasn't easy," said Mohamad Yazid in an interview featured in the RTM report, "but I'm so grateful for the help." The successful completion of the project serves as a testament to the community's resilience and collaborative efforts in the face of environmental challenges. The house stands as a symbol of hope and perseverance against the destructive forces of nature.
