SAGO trunks, cut into manageable lengths and tied together in the form of a raft, float in the 9.5-kilometre man-made canal of Kut that connects Oya and Egan, two of the numerous rivers in the coastal homeland of the Melanaus in the Mukah division.
The trunks, which will eventually be tugged by a boat to sago- processing factories, bob on the brackish water as the express boat from the town of Dalat speeds towards Sibu.
