BINTULU: Incessant rain since noon yesterday caused several areas here, including three villages, to be flooded.

The affected vilages are Kg Asyakirin, Kg Kemunting and Sungai Sebatang.

However, despite the flood, no evacuation was reported.

Sarawak Disaster Relief Management committee secretary Maj Ismail Mahedin said a woman and her one-month-old infant were rescued from her house along Sungai Sebatang yesterday.

“She is currently staying with a neighbour,” said Maj Ismail.
