马来西亚正转向中国卫星技术，以获取更早的洪水预警，以应对该国一年一度的东北季风带来的洪灾，国家新闻社伯纳马报道。
Malaysia is turning to Chinese satellite technology for earlier warnings of floods that hit the country during its annual northeast monsoon, Bernama reported.
该基于卫星的系统可能提供更准确、更全面的天气预报，使当局能够更好地准备和减轻灾害，国家新闻社援引马来西亚副首相阿末扎希·哈米迪的话说。阿末扎希同时担任国家中央灾害管理委员会主席，他正在对中国进行工作访问，直至本周五。
The satellite-based system could provide more accurate and comprehensive weather forecasts, allowing authorities to better prepare for and mitigate disasters, the state news agency said, citing Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Zahid, who chairs the nation’s Central Disaster Management Committee, is on a working visit to China through Friday.

2021年12月的毁灭性洪灾是马来西亚历史上最严重的洪灾之一，造成超过50人死亡，约40万人被迫离家。根据政府数据，该灾害造成约61亿令吉（15亿美元）的损失，淹没了住宅、工厂和商业场所，并破坏了基础设施。工业化州雪兰莪是受灾最严重的地区之一。
The devastating floods of December 2021 were among the worst in Malaysia’s history, killing more than 50 people and forcing about 400,000 from their homes. The disaster caused an estimated 6.1 billion ringgit ($1.5 billion) in damage, according to government figures, inundating homes, factories and businesses and damaging infrastructure. The industrialized state of Selangor was among the hardest hit.
