KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 26 — Sabah has been hit by floods once again after just a week of respite, with two temporary relief centres (PPS) opening tonight in the Paitan and Sandakan districts following continuous heavy rain throughout the day.

Six evacuees from three families are being housed at SMK Pamol in Paitan, while 142 people from 36 families took refuge at Masjid Nur Iman in Sandakan.

A total of five villages were affected by floods in Pakistan, while one village was affected in Sandakan, with the number of victims is expected to increase.

The Malaysian Meteorological Department predicted thunderstorms and rain in one or two places in Sabah tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the number of flood evacuees in Kelantan and Terengganu rose tonight, while the number of victims in Pahang decreased.
