Flood Alert
“We are bracing for the worst. The Red Alert warning until Jan 14,” said Tan Sri Dr George Chan this morning after a media briefing at the state flood operations room at Wisma Bapa Malaysia.
He said the rain clouds which had moved inland from South China Sea two days ago would bring more rains in the next few days.
The city has experienced rainfalls about four times’ higher than average in the past 24 hours.
Another Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Alfred Jabu said the Suba Buan area in the Bau district was worst hit and it was under nearly 5m (15 feet) of floodwater.
Rescuers have evacuated 108 villagers from their homes.
