KOTA KINABALU: Proper planning is vital to overcome floods in Sabah's northern Kota Marudu district in facing unpredictable weather, says Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili.

KOTA KINABALU: Proper planning is vital to overcome floods in Sabah's northern Kota Marudu district in facing unpredictable weather, says Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili"The weather is very unpredictable now which makes any flood mitigation planning more difficult. We cannot just depend on past data because the numbers may have changed," said the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department .

"Given the current situation, we need more disaster relief tents, more than before. Imagine, one of the relief centres here houses 42 families. He, however, added that it is a concerted effort by all, from the district office to all relevant agencies. "We cannot delay when it comes to dealing with someone's life. We must make sure that those who temporarily put up at relief centres have basic needs," he said.
