KOTA KINABALU: The government is developing an SMS tsunami alert system, with the hope of allowing people time to flee to safer grounds if disaster strikes, says Yeo Bee Yin (pic).

The Energy, Green Technology, Science, Climate Change and Environment Minister said this is in view of the climate change and geologists’ warning that some areas in the country, specifically Tawau off Sabah, could be hit with tsunami.
