LABUAN: The Labuan Public Works Department (PWD) has carried out a corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme to help mitigate flooding in several parts of the island, following continuous heavy rain and high tide conditions affecting villages and residential areas. "During this current rainy season combined with high tides, a number of villages and housing areas have been affected. "As part of our CSR, PWD has gone down to the ground to assess the situation and implement mitigation measures where assistance is most urgently needed," he told Bernama today. He said the initiative reflects department's commitment not only to infrastructure development but also to community well-being, particularly in assisting residents during challenging weather conditions. Residents in affected areas have been advised to remain vigilant and to report drainage or flood-related issues to the relevant authorities to enable prompt action.
