KUCHING: The design of roads in Sarawak, especially in rural areas, will be reviewed to ensure they do not collapse in future, says Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri James Masing.

He said this would be done in the wake of an incident on Sunday (Feb 24) when a section of the Pakan-Entabai road in the Sarikei division collapsed after prolonged rain over the past few days.
