8a better future advises the government to sum up the lessons of the flooding disaster:Manainga ny fitondram-panjakana haka lesona avy amin'ny tondra-drano i a better future :
9“Immediate relief was going on quite well but the Government could have done better if they had marked all the flood sections of the roads with bamboo poles or other alternatives with clear signs to show how deep the flood level is.
10It would have made it easier for monitoring as well as for traffic to decide whether to “swim” through or not. These markers can be used for future planning especially in the upgrading of the main trunk roads.Amin'izay fotoana izay mba mahalala ny haavon'ny rano isika any amin'ny faritra mora tondraka rehefa misy indray ny fametrahana foto-drafitr'asa (lalana), dia tsy ho tratry ny olana noho ny famitana asa tsizarizary ataon'ny mpanantanteraka ny asa intsony isika rahampitso.
11“Thus unless we have proper records of flood levels in flood prone areas to guide future planning and implementation of projects, we will have more unnecessary problems due to poor implementations by the respective agencies involved in future.
12“Hopefully the Government has learned all the lessons so that future floods will be less disruptive, not only in Bau but throughout Sarawak and if possible Malaysia.Manantena ihany aho fa nahazo lesona hiatrehana ny tondra-drano manaraka tsy hanohintohina loatra intsony, tsy eto Bau ihany fa manerana an'i Sarawak na Malezia manontolo mihitsy aza.
13The main trunk roads should be built to be weather-proof, meaning the level to which they must be constructed must be above the highest known flood level.Tokony hahazaka ny toetr'andro avokoa ny lalana lehibe rehetra, izany hoe tokony ho avo kokoa noho ny haavon'ny rano ambony indrindra fantatra no anorenana azy.
14Police stations and critical government buildings must be sited in non flood prone areas, where possible.Tokony hiorina amin'ny faritra tsy tratran'ny rano ihany koa ny tranom-panjakana sy ny biraon'ny polisy rehetra, raha azo atao.
15If not, then the site of any buildings should be dumped to raise it above the known flood level at the very least.Fa raha tsy izany kosa tokony tsy asiana na inona na inona ny rihana mora tratran'ny tondra-drano ka akarina ny rihana hatao toeram-piasana.
16Access to these buildings must be also flood proofed where possible.”Tokony hahazaka tondra-drano ihany koa ny fidirana amin'ireny tondra-drano ireny raha azo atao.
17The Lost Aborigine urges leaders to prioritize the flooding issue over other foreign matters:Mandrisika ny resaka tondra-drano hatao laharam-pahamehana mialoha ny raharaha vahiny hafa iThe Lost Aborigine:
18“How about the flood relief to those affected area especially those poor villages like Serian, Padawan, Bau and some in Sibu and Miri?Dia ahoana moa izany ny amin'ireo tanàna mahantra mora tondraky ny rano sahala amin'i Serian, Padawan, Bau ary ny hafa any Sibu sy Miri?
19Why we so busy with Gaza but our own people are helpless and dying?Nahoana isika no variana amin'i Gaza nefa ny olona eto amintsika koa mila famonjena mitady ho faty?
20The Malaysian attitude is that we ignore our household affair and get busy with other issue that it less related to us.”Fihetsika Maleziana mihitsy io tsy mahalala ny raharahan-tokantranon'ny tena nefa variana amin'ny mikasika antsika io.
21Nana Natu notes that the flooding was the worst in 20 years:Nomarihin'i Nana Natu moa fa ity tondra-drano ity no ratsy indrindra tao anatin'ny 20 taona:
22“Sarawak River showed yesterday its might when it burst it banks and water spilled into Kuching Waterfront.Nasehon'ny reniranon'i Sarawak omaly ny heriny rehefa nivoaka ny molony izy ka nitondraka an'i Kuching izy.
23And the floods descrides by Kuchingites as the worst flood in 20 years, caused massive trafic jam, halted business and caused panic among some who anticipated that worst was yet to come.Nolazain'ny Kunchingites (mponina any) fa ity no tondra-drano ratsy indrindra tao anatin'ny 20 taona, niteraka fitohanan'ny fiara, nampitsahatra ny raharaha sy nampikoropaka ireo efa niahiahy fa mbola ho avy ny ratsiraty kokoa.

27Sounding Intelligent writes the possible causes of the flooding:Nanoratra ny mety ho anton'ny tondra-drano i Sounding Intelligent :
28“I am in no position to say what the actual cause of the recent flood is but I firmly believe that it is man-made.
29After all, who constructed levees that forced rivers into narrow channels?Ny fiakaran'ny hafanana amin'ny ankapobeny no tena zava-doza.
30Who destructed the wetlands that once absorbed excess rainfall? Who contributed to global warming?Io no mampiova ny toetr'andro, mampahery vaika ny ranon'orana sy mampitsonika ny ranomandry manerana ny tany, sy mampiteraka zavatra maro hafa be dia be.
31“Global warming is a real threat. It is affecting weather patterns, creating a modest increase in violent downpours and melting ice all over the world, causing an avalanche of effects.Fa na dia maro aza ny fampitandremana natao, mbola tia tena ihany ny olona, tsy mety mampiasa angovo madio izy na mampihena ny rivotra karibonika fandaniny.
32“Despite these warnings, some people still continue to be selfish, refuse to switch to cleaner fuels or reduce their carbon footprints somehow.”Tsy voafetra tao Malaysia ihany moa ny tondra-drano fa nahazo ny faritr amaro tany Philippines, Indonesia ary Fiji ihany koa.
