KOTA KINABALU: Kota Kinabalu police chief ACP Kasim Muda denied allegations in a video that went viral on social media, that the authorities set fire to a slum house next to the Kampung Kalansanan Inanam water village, here on Monday.
On the other hand, he said the incident that razed 26 squatter houses was believed to be caused by a short circuit in one of the houses before the fire spread to other illegal housing structures.
