KUCHING: Two villages in Balingian, Mukah in central Sarawak can expect to pay less for domestic gas in two years’ time when the first biogas supply plant begins operation.

Balingian assemblyman Abdul Yakub Arbi said the biogas would be supplied by pipelines, just like how LPG was being supplied in most areas in Miri.
