KOTA KINABALU: A flood mitigation project in Tawau should be sped up to address the flood woes in the Sabah east coast district, said former deputy chief minister Datuk Christina Liew.

Liew, who is Tawau MP, said she was optimistic the district's decades-old flood problems would soon be a thing of the past if the implementation of all the four packages of the Tawau flood mitigation project could be completed under the 12th Malaysia Plan as a holistic solution.
