Five schools in Sabah still closed


SK St Catherine in Inanam at the outskirts of Kota Kinabalu was under about a metre of water at the height of Wednesday's flooding which receded later in the evening.

KOTA KINABALU: Five out of 12 primary schools hit by flash floods have remained closed as state Education Department officials assess the damage.

Sabah Education department director Datuk Jame Alip yesterday said four of the five schools with 512 pupils should begin classes by tomorrow but expected SK Bawang in Tamparuli to remain closed for a while longer as one of its wooden blocks was damaged by mudslides.
