Faced with a third round of flooding in two months, residents of Kampung Iboi near Baling are now asking how much longer they need to live in fear each time it rains. 

The villagers say they have been in such a state since mud floods killed three people and displaced more than a thousand residents on July 4. 

Their constant trepidation became reality at 5.30pm yesterday, when water came gushing down Gunung Inas to flood the village again after a 30-minute heavy downpour, forcing more than 100 residents to evacuate.
