All flood relief centres in Sarawak were closed at 10am today with the final relief centre at SK Menuang Limbang closing this morning.

Sarawak State Disaster Management Committee (JPBNS) secretariat said the relief centre at SK Menuang, which was opened on Dec 22 and housed 40 victims from 12 families, was closed at 8.30am this morning.

"It was closed as the water level had receded and the situation was under control," JPBNS said in a statement this morning.

JPBNS advised residents in flood-prone areas to be alert and follow instructions issued by the authorities when directed to evacuate.

Earlier, JPBNS said that the Meteorological Department had at midnight issued a warning for bad weather with continuous heavy rain and strong winds in Limbang today.

“A similar bad weather warning was also issued for Miri today,” it said.

JPBNS stated the department also forecasts rain in one or two places in Sarawak in the morning with thunderstorms in one or two areas in the evening and rain in one or two places at night.
