The beginning of the Ox Year wasn’t  very good for Sarawak. Most of its major cities were affected by flood due to heavy downpour of continuous rain. The condition in Sibu was one of the worst amongst the other towns in Sarawak. dsc01382

Nevertheless, the non-stop rain had also affected the Trans Borneo highway plying Sibu to Bintulu. While driving my way back to Miri a few days ago, I noticed 4 major hazardous landslide areas nearby Tatau, Bintulu. dsc01383

Can these save you from the landslides?dsc01386

In some area, the roads were even disconnected from traffic.dsc01388

However, works were done to construct temporary passage for vehicle to pass through. It is not advisable to drive at night as these landslides were difficult to be notice & the road was terribly damaged.
