Sabah’s flood victims in need of govt aid

Constant battle: Villagers whose houses have been hit by mud flow caused by heavy rains, like this home in Penampang, are having a hard time clearing out the debris as continuous downpours hamper their efforts.

KOTA KINABALU: Flood victims in Sabah’s Penampang district continue to appeal for government aid to help them rebuild their lives following severe floods and landslides since last month.

Many of them hope that the government will give more assistance, especially for clearing their homes and roads of mud, fixing broken gravity pipes, as well as reconnecting electricity and water supplies.
