SIBU: Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) will not make any U-turn on its decision to switch off the traffic light system at a road intersection here despite motorists’ appeals.

Since the traffic light system at Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg and Jalan Desa was turned off two months ago, motorists have been appealing for the council to reconsider its decision.
