KUCHING: Urgent action is needed to address ongoing riverbank erosion along the Lawas River in northern Sarawak as it is affecting part of the Borneo Evangelical Mission's (BEM) Malaysia Evangelical Theological Seminary campus, says the denomination.

BEM president Rev Bina Agong said to date, the erosion had washed away the seminary's first church built in the early 1960s, two student hostels, part of the old BEM airfield and a clinic.
