00:00This morning, I had the opportunity to visit a location where on the Penbonium Road in Sarawak, there was a big flood because it rained for 24 days.
00:25I was informed by JKR Sarawak and Penbonium Practice that along Penbonium Road, there were only 4 locations where the road was flooded.
00:41However, the most important thing is that the road can be passed by vehicles for the entire time.
00:48There is no need to close the road because of the flood.
00:56The safety and comfort of the road users is also guaranteed because there are guards at the locations.
01:07This morning, I was informed that the flood was 700 meters long.
01:22Where are the 4 locations?
01:24The 4 locations are located in the Serian to Seriaman road.
01:35The second location is in Selangau.
01:40The third location is in Pusingan P at KM 818 at Jepang Pakun section.
01:53The fourth location is in Pekes 11 at Pujut section, which is close to Eastwood Club at KM 938-940.
02:09Although the road is bad, there is no need to close the road.
02:15Yesterday, I had a question to you about the effect of the flood.
02:21Are there any roads in Sarawak that collapsed under the JKR?
02:27Yes, there are.
02:28As far as I know, there is a road in my area called Sipan Temarang.
02:37The road was partially collapsed and almost all of it collapsed at that location.
02:47Therefore, I appreciate the JKR Sarawak.
02:51I would like to show you a video of an alternative path for the road.
03:07The road will be paved with stones so that it won't be slippery.
03:13Tomorrow, I will go to that location.
03:16Are the four locations close to the river?
03:20No, not all of them.
03:23The location near Sipan Temarang may not be close to the river.
03:28Because it is a big river.
03:29But here, it is a river.
