By early evening on January 11, state relief agencies reported a slight decrease in the number of Malaysians displaced by floods in Sabah and Sarawak.
In Sabah, as of 6 pm, 1,023 individuals remained in 15 temporary relief centres—down from 1,153 evacuees earlier in the day. Most are in the Kinabatangan and Sandakan districts, where the Kinabatangan and Segama rivers have burst their banks into nearby lowlands. State Social Welfare Department director Faridah Jamain said water levels are falling, though some villages stay cut off by damaged roads and collapsed bridges.
In Sarawak, the total evacuee count dropped to 2,456 across 28 relief centres, compared with 2,678 previously. The hardest-hit zones remain along the Baram and Limbang rivers, where heavy upstream rain has caused waterways to flood riverside kampungs. Raymond Tiong, operations manager at the Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department, reported that crews are pumping water from school halls and community centres and have reopened key supply routes.
State meteorological departments forecast scattered showers over the next 48 hours. Relief officials say standby teams are ready for another round of monsoon-driven storms, but improving conditions mean some evacuees may return home within a day or two.
