KOTA KINABALU: The state government must stop any plans for Likas lagoons to be reclaimed for commercial development as it would severely impact flood mitigation in the city, says Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) president Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee.

He said the lagoons along Likas Bay were for flood mitigation and any reclamation efforts would lead to severe flooding in the city.
