"Sebanyak 14 kampung terjejas banjir, iaitu enam di Telupid dan lapan di Paitan," menurut kenyataan itu hari ini.

SAINT-DENIS: One person died, and two were missing, after cyclone Garance slammed into the French overseas territory of La Reunion with top wind speeds of 155kph (96mph) today, the local prefect told franceinfo broadcaster.
The cyclone made landfall in the north of the Indian Ocean island, which lies off Madagascar, blowing away roofs and cutting power and access to drinking water for many residents.
It exited the southwest of the island several hours later, Meteo France weather agency said.
"Things are improving in the north of La Reunion island but... not on high points in the west," prefect Patrice Latron said, pointing to heavy rainfall.
The prefecture had said earlier that 180,000 households - about 42 per cent of the electricity utility's customers - had lost power, and nearly 10 per cent had no access to drinking water.
The prefecture said the worst of the storm had passed and a storm alert had been downgraded from the highest level, purple, to red.
This meant rescue workers could now leave their shelters and start to assess damage and help those affected.
A mandatory order for residents to stay indoors remained in place and authorities expected rough weather conditions until at least the end of the day.
Top winds had dropped to 130kph (80mph), Meteo France said, but higher gusts were possible on the southwest of the island, with heavy rains now seen as a bigger risk.
In nearby Mauritius, authorities reopened the airport after the threat from the storm eased. - REUTERS

SIBU (Feb 28): Several areas in Sibu will experience a temporary water supply disruption starting at 10pm tonight due to urgent repair works.
In a statement, the Sibu Water Board (SWB) said that repairs would be carried out on a 750mm diameter mild steel main pipe that has developed a leak due to soil settlement in front of the Foochow Association Building on Jalan Salim.
“The repair works are scheduled to begin tonight at 10pm and are expected to take approximately nine hours to complete,” it said.
The board warned that failure to address the issue could lead to catastrophic pipe failure, resulting in prolonged water disruptions affecting thousands of residents and businesses.
Additionally, if left unattended, the leak could worsen, potentially causing infrastructure damage, road collapse, and contamination of the water supply.
“Therefore, immediate action is necessary to prevent further deterioration and ensure the continued reliability of water distribution in Sibu.”
During this period, water supply will be disrupted in Jalan Stabau/Jalan Kong Yit Khim to Jalan Nibong Tada and Durin, Jalan Salim to Jalan Pedada/Jalan Dr Wong Soon Kai, Jalan Ling Kai Cheng to the Ling Kai Cheng/Ulu Sungai Merah traffic light intersection.
Other areas included Jalan Lada to Sibu town and all village areas, Jalan Brooke Drive to Jalan Teng Chin Hua, Jalan Quarry to Jalan Pasai Siong, Jalan Wawasan to Bawang Assan and Jalan Teku Lama to Jalan Ding Lik Kong.
SWB has urged affected consumers to store sufficient water in advance to minimize the impact of the scheduled disruption.
“We deeply regret any inconvenience caused and assure the public that our team is committed to completing the repair work as swiftly as possible to restore normal water supply.”
