KOTA KINABALU: Only one flood relief centre housing 36 people remains open in Kota Belud district as of Wednesday (July 1) noon.
Sabah Civil Defence Department director Col Kamal Mokhtar said the number of people at the centre remained unchanged from 8pm on Tuesday (June 30).
The Tun Said community hall, he said, is the only remaining shelter open after floods hit the west coast and interior areas of Sabah following continuous downpour on Saturday (June 27) evening.
Favourable weather saw 16 other shelters deactivated, where over 1,000 villagers from five flood-hit districts were relocated to earlier.
They have since been allowed to return home in stages starting midnight on Monday (June 29).
