SIBU: Sibu Rural District Council (SRDC) wants its residents to refrain from carrying out open burning.

Though the air quality in the district was still not bad despite forest fires in the neighbouring Indonesian province of West Kalimantan, people here should avoid open burning, said its chairman Sempurai Petrus Ngelai.
