A massive fire swept through Kampung Bahagia, a coastal 'water village' in Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia, destroying around 1,000 stilt homes and displacing more than 9,000 residents.
The blaze broke out in the early hours of April 19, 2026, and spread rapidly due to the densely packed wooden structures. Authorities believe a cooking mishap may have sparked the fire, but investigations are ongoing. No casualties have been reported, but the disaster has left thousands without homes or livelihoods.
Relief efforts and plans for resettlement are underway as federal and state agencies coordinate aid for the victims.
