Conditions pose challenges in Batang Baleh capsized boat search and rescue

KAPIT: Rising water levels, swift currents, and murky water posed significant challenges on Friday (March 8) for the search and rescue team in locating four individuals missing after a boat capsized in the Batang Baleh river, Kapit, yesterday evening.

Sibu Zone Fire and Rescue Department chief Andy Alie stated that floating debris and driftwood further limited visibility in the river to one metre.
