  "summary": "The Ranau district office is preparing reports on the flood-hit Kundasang areas for the National Disaster Management Agency and relevant agencies, according to New Straits Times. District officer Tinus Manggam announced a team would visit affected areas, including Kampung Gorowot, where a Perodua Kancil was swept away by a flash flood and fell down an embankment. The team was scheduled to visit today, following earlier assistance from the Ranau District Disaster Management Committee team. Approximately 20 houses and several homestays in the village were affected, with the road leading to Kampung Gorowot completely cut off and inaccessible until repairs are carried out. The incident is part of a series of landslides and flash floods reported around Kundasang following continuous heavy rain.",
