Sabah sees slight increase in flood evacuees on Thursday (Jan 6)


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is seeing a slight increase in flood evacuees to 3,743 as of 8am Thursday (Jan 6) from 3,264 people at 8pm Wednesday (Jan 5) despite the improving weather in most parts of the state.

This is because of rainfall in Tongod, in Sabah’s central area, which is pushing water flow downwards to Telupid and Kinabatangan, said state Civil Defence Department director Sharudin Md Zain.
