SIBU (March 30): The Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Bawang Assan branch has distributed food aid to 98 families affected by the recent floods in Tanjung Kunyit, Sungai Sadit, Lebaan, Engkilo, and Sungai Bidut.

Branch chairman Councillor Kevin Lau said his team is also assisting the affected families in applying for aid from the Sarawak Welfare Department through the Sibu Resident Office.

“I thank our councillors, kapitans and penghulus for their cooperation in distributing the assistance to the affected families to lighten their burden, and also the Welfare Department for their prompt response to our request,” he said.

With another high tide expected on March 31, Lau urged residents in flood-prone areas to remain vigilant and prioritise safety.
