KUCHING: Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Alfred Jabu Numpang says Sarawak is “not likely” to face severe flooding this monsoon season to last until March.

After a National Security Council briefing here yesterday, the state Disaster Relief Committee chairman told reporters Sarawak should be spared from the kind of floods that had hit Peninsular Malaysia unless there was a “change in the weather pattern”.
