Floods, landslides and houses toppled by the rain killed at least 16 people in Hunan, Fujian and Guangxi provinces. A number of people are still missing.
In Guangxi, the army and residents were struggling to shore up a breached dyke at the base of a water reservoir.
At least 15 people died in neighbouring Vietnam, officials say.
There are fears the death toll in the two countries will rise further.
Both are prone to major flooding during the annual summer rainy season.

Just saying that our law enforcement officers right now seems to have something against het couples having some steamy action in public (public nuisance act?) but not gays after 377 on our side was repealed.

Only the part that illegalize gay relationship in private was repealed in hk. Its also to be noted that
Chapter 224 Section 377A (SG) has 2 years maximum jail time. Section
118F and
118J of chapter 200 (HK) are serious offense under which a man may get a maximum jail time of 5 years and 2 years respectively. Assuming that you are refering to SG's Chapter 184 Section
27A, HK's
Chapter 200 Section 148 is similar to it. Hk needs to enforce the law more strictly. Hopefully that will change with time.
