KUCHING: Stop all open burning activities, says the Natural Resources and Environment Board (NREB) once again, after detecting sporadic incidences of forest fires within Sarawak.
Near Bintulu on Sunday, huge plumes of smoke were reported along Jalan Bakun about 50km from the dam. An early NREB report indicated the fire was started by residents of longhouse Uma' Bakong, possibly for hill paddy planting purposes.
