SIBU: The Public Works Department (JKR) has clarified that a RM50,000 wooden jetty in Kampung Mutap, Bekenu was built at the request of the village chief.

In response to viral social media posts that said the project and its cost was unjustified, the department said in a Facebook post on Sunday (April 10) in its "Corporate Communication JKR Sarawak" page that Miri JKR had made a site visit to Kampung Mutap on Sept 21 last year.
