KUCHING: The Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (JPBN) will discuss with the police and the armed forces on more effective measures to address the issue of longhouse residents using forest trails to escape the lockdown imposed due to the spread of Covid-19 infection in Sibu.
Its chairman Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said he had instructed Sarawak police commissioner Datuk Aidi Ismail and the armed forces to present a more effective empowerment programme at the committee’s daily meeting tomorrow in order to prevent this act from continuing.
“We close the area to make sure no one slips out of the areas but there were also residents of longhouses who are still stubborn and sneak out. It is an irresponsible act,” he said at the Covid-19 daily press conference here today.
