Longboats send much-needed food aid to Sibu rural folk


Dispatchers using chartered longboats to send food aid to recipients in Ulu Machan, Kanowit.

While recipients of food aid under the Sarawakku Sayang Special Assistance (BKSS) 3.0 programme in Sibu may not have difficulty going to the collection centre, it is tough for rural folk in Kanowit.

There are no roads connecting Ulu Poi and Ulu Machan in Kanowit. The only means of communication is by longboat which can take up to three hours to reach Kanowit town.
