At least seven landslides were reported over the past week after flash floods hit areas in and around Kota Kinabalu
Nearly a quarter of a million people were left without electricity over the weekend in Malaysia’s Sabah state after torrential rain triggered landslides that killed at least one person and took out a transmission tower that cut power across a large area.
Footage shared widely on social media showed the tower leaning precariously after it was hit by a landslide in the district of Penampang on the state’s west coast on Saturday evening.
The incident cut power supply to six districts in Sabah’s east coast, including the town of Sandakan, over 300km (186 miles) away.
