Bandar Seri Begawan - Several low-lying areas in the Brunei-Muara District came under the attention of several key government agencies yesterday following heavy rains Monday night that inundated dozens of homes, some with waist-high flood water and triggered landslides that have become major causes for concern. A Press statement issued by the Public Works Department (PWD) said among the affected areas were Kg Lugu, Kg Katimahar, Ban areas in Kg Mulaut, Kg Jangsak, Kg Pawas, Kg Rimba as well as Kg Lumapas, which was the hardest hit.
