KOTA KINABALU: A group of 20 students in Tamparuli have made the journey across the low-lying bridge near their school safer with their own flood warning sensors.

Using their ingenuity and raising about RM30,000, the SMK Tamparuli students created the device to warn pedestrians and motorists when the Tamparuli bridge is unsafe due to floods.
