KOTA KINABALU, Sept 15 — Floods and a landslide triggered by heavy rain last night have forced the closure of six schools in three districts in Sabah, affecting 2,725 pupils, 190 teachers and 132 pre-schoolers.
Sabah Education Department director Mistirine Radin named the schools affected as follows: Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Pintas in Beaufort; SK Tampasak, SK Kaiduan, SK Pekan Kinarut and Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Kin Kiau (SJKC) in Papar and SK Babagon in Kota Kinabalu.
SK Babagon had to be closed because a landslide blocked the route to the school while the other schools were affected by floodwaters in the premises and along the routes, he said in a statement.
