Bad wiring cause of longhouse fire


Fire victims from the Sungai Asap Resettlement Scheme trying to start a generator provided by the authorities.

MIRI: The wiring systems of the Sungai Asap Resettlement Scheme near Bakun Dam in central Sarawak – populated by 15,000 native folk – have not been inspected for the past 20 years.

This sad situation is reflective of a similar state of neglect in many other longhouses in the state.
