Smugglers, traffickers pose health threat too


The Sarawak-Kalimantan border hides numerous rat trails which are used by smugglers and human traffickers.

MIRI: Sarawak is worried that cargo smugglers and human traffickers from neighbouring Kalimantan may bring more Covid-19 cases into the state.

The state Disaster Relief Committee secretariat, in its latest updates, said there were many illegals freely coming in and out of Sarawak via “jalan tikus” (small and hidden jungle trails) and “jalan gajah” (large pathways) along the Kalimantan-Sarawak border.
