Gawai revellers jam incomplete road to Kapit


People rushing back to Kapit for Gawai using the Ngemah-Temalat stretch despite the road not being open to traffic yet.

SIBU: There was a traffic jam along the 9.6km Ngemah-Temalat stretch as a large number revellers of Gawai Dayak chose to drive home to Kapit from here instead of using the express boat.

This is despite the fact that the road is not opened to traffic yet as it is still under construction.
