223 people were evacuated from Pitas, Sabah due to great waves.
As the king tide phenomenon is expected to cause flooding in the coastal areas, 223 people from 52 families have been evacuated to temporary relief centres (PPS) in Pitas.
The victims were evacuated to the PPS at Kampung Mempakad and Kampung Pinggan-Pinggan community halls, which opened early today as a precautionary measure.
The PPS in Kampung Mempakad currently houses 168 victims from 37 families, while the PPS in Kampung Pinggan-Pinggan houses 55 more victims from 15 families.
