AN INTERNATIONAL dragon boat race is being mooted for Sungai Rajang, the longest river in the country, to promote tourism.

Bukit Assek assemblyman Joseph Chieng said although the Sibu-Kapit road network was already in place, activities in the Rajang area were decreasing, hence there was a need to plan something for the river to make it lively again.
