PDPR Possible For Flood-Hit Sabah

Sep 18, 2025

Home based teaching and learning could be implemented in Sabah, when students return from the school holiday next week.  

The Education Ministry says it's considering this option, if there is little change to the flood situation in the state.  

38 Sabah schools are currently affected by rising waters. 

This, as the Social Welfare Dept's portal reported 2,500 flood victims in Sabah.  

Most of the evacuees are in Membakut, which accounts for around one-third of all flood victims.
