KOTA KINABALU: Villagers in flood-prone Penampang are calling for solutions to their never-ending flood woes, which have been worsening in recent years mainly due to the increase in development projects. Housewife Rosie Mijoh, 59, said that she noticed that floods have been occurring very often over the past couple of years, especially when projects for road widening, housing and others started to increase. Developers as well as authorities should ensure that drainage and irrigation are well thought out before each project is approved. "Every time it rains heavily, we have to start packing essentials and move our furniture and vehicles to higher ground in case it floods, " lamented Rosie, who lives in Kg Divato.
