KOTA KINABALU: Jaisah Ingkal, a grandmother of six, was preparing for the worst when she saw rain clouds forming in the sky earlier this week.

According to her, floods are an annual fixture at her village of Kampung Taka in Pitas, a district reported to be one of the eight poorest districts in Sabah, some 175km north of the state capital.
