KOTA KINABALU: Tired of the frequent flooding in Penampang, former lawmaker Jennifer Lasimbang has started a petition calling for speedy and effective action to mitigate the problem faced by thousands of families in the district.

Lasimbang, who served as Moyog assemblyman from 2018 to 2020, said it is hoped that the petition, started on Tuesday (Oct 12) via Change.org, will get the authorities to start river widening and sand dredging works immediately.
