KUCHING (April 6): A shoplot unit’s wall along Jalan Padungan here collapsed early this morning. The Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) dispatched firefighters from the Padungan fire station after receiving a call at 6.23am.
“Upon arrival it was found that the wall had cracked and collapsed. “The firefighters evacuated the shoplot unit and its neighbouring unit, then set up barricade tapes at the scene,” it said in a statement.
No injuries or casualties were reported at the scene. The shoplots along Jalan Padungan were constructed in the 1920s and 1930s, during the rubber plantation boom.
The area experienced its golden age from the 1950s to the early 1970s, serving as a bustling hub of activity.
Today, the century-old shoplots continue to thrive as a hub of commerce, culture, and gastronomy, attracting people from diverse backgrounds to enjoy local delicacies and immerse themselves in its unique atmosphere.
The area is a harmonious blend of century-old shoplots and sleek, modern high-rise structures.

PETALING JAYA:
Sarawakians affected by the floods in February have been urged to remain patient while awaiting the payment of RM1,000 in aid promised by the state government.
Deputy premier, Douglas Uggah Embas said about 5,600 households were affected by the floods and that it would take some time to distribute the RM1,000 financial aid to all of them.
“We have distributed the aid to about 3,600 families, and are verifying the details of the remaining families,” said Uggah, who is chairman of the Sarawak disaster management committee.
Uggah said district offices had to confirm the details of families who opted not to relocate to relief centres, as well as their reasons for doing so.
“If the reasons are reasonable, we will proceed with the payment,” he said, Bernama reported.
He added that Sarawak has approved a RM100 million allocation to repair roads and longhouses damaged by the floods and resulting soil erosion.
KOTA KINABALU (April 5): The number of flood evacuees at the temporary evacuation centre (PPS) in Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Bukit Garam PPS at Pekan Bukit Garam in Kinabatangan, has increased from three families to 29 families as of today.
A statement from the Sabah State Disaster Management Committee stated that 131 people from 29 families are taking shelter at SK Bukit Garam PPS since the district of Kinabatangan was declared as a flood disaster zone by the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) on Wednesday.
The 131 flood victims consisted of 35 men, 36 women, 28 boys and 32 girls, from four villages in Kinabatangan.
The Sabah State Disaster Management Committee said continuous monitoring of the flood situation in flood affected areas is being carried out by the Fire and Rescue Department, the Malaysia Civil Defence Department and other agencies.
Yesterday, the State Disaster Operations Control Centre issued an Evacuation Order under the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA) Directive No. 1, officially declaring the area a red zone.
The action was taken following the refusal of some residents to evacuate to the relief centre despite the Kinabatangan River level exceeding the danger mark.
