RANAU: Deputy Chief Minister Masidi Manjun, who is also Karanaan assemblyman, has ordered immediate remedial works after flash floods hit Kampung Mohimboyon and Kampung Lipantai here on Friday night.

He said the urgent measures include clearing drains, installing new culvert pipes, improving river flow paths and repairing affected public facilities to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Masidi said the steps were necessary to safeguard residents, particularly amid unpredictable weather conditions.

During the incident, 19 vehicles stranded by rising waters were recovered by volunteer four-wheel drive teams from Kundasang Highland Four Wheel Drive Club (KH4WDC), Kilimu Garage (KGR) and Red Army 4X4.

Police also monitored both villages to keep the situation under control, while the Karanaan service centre remains on standby to assist flood- and landslide-affected areas following heavy rain.
