NONE of the polling stations in Sabah were affected by the floods, although some areas have flooded due to incessant rain since last night, according to police in the state.

Sabah police commissioner Idris Abdullah said polling was smooth despite cloudy weather and rain in some districts.

“A total of 874 polling stations have been opened throughout Sabah with the use of helicopters to transport ballot boxes to 87 remote areas that cannot be accessed by roads.

“All ballot boxes have safely reached all polling stations,” he said in a statement today.

Earlier today, Sabah Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations Misran Bisara said that several areas in the Sook and Nabawan districts were hit by floods due to continuous heavy rain since last night.

Among the affected areas in Sook are Kampung Tiolon, Kampung Rancangan Belia and Kampung Kusina while Kampung Magulasing and Kampung Lima in Nabawan. – Bernama, November 19, 2022.
