KAPIT (Feb 3): The Song District Disaster Management Committee detected cracks on part of the road surface of Jalan Song-Simpang Temalat yesterday.
Song District Officer Harry Bruce Edwin said the section is located at the Jalan Kem Kayu Balak-Temalat intersection.
He said the authorities have cordoned off the area and erected warning signs due to the possibility of landslides.
Harry also advised road users travelling on Jalan Song-Temalat-Kanowit to proceed with caution, particularly at a stretch that partially collapsed following a landslide on Jan 30.
He said following the incident, the committee immediately mobilised machinery from the Public Works Department (JKR) to construct a temporary access link road to enable vehicles from both directions to pass through.
Jalan Kapit-Song-Ngemah-Kanowit is the only road linking Kapit to the rest of Sarawak.
“Road users must be very careful when approaching the stretch of road where the landslide occurred at Jalan Song-Temalat-Kanowit and also at Jalan Song-Simpang Temalat.
“Road users are reminded to drive very carefully and follow the road signage,” he advised.
Separately, Harry said the committee is also monitoring the high river level very closely.
“So far no one has been evacuated. The situation is under control. I thank all agencies involved – police, APM (Civil Defence Force), Rela (People’s Volunteer Corps), Bomba (Fire and Rescue Department), Sarawak Rivers Board (SRB), Welfare Department – for working very closely during this wet season,” he added.
In case of emergencies, he asked the public to contact 084-777221.

SELANGOR is prepared to provide post-flood support to Sabah and Sarawak, but is currently monitoring the situation before deploying volunteers.
State youth, sports and entrepreneurship committee chairman Mohd Najwan Halimi said with floods still at their peak in both states, immediate deployment would be ineffective.
“If we deploy volunteers now, there is not much they can do as people are still dealing with the floods,” he said.
Instead, Mohd Najwan said the state would assess the needs after floodwaters recede.
“We will see what is needed to help with the cleanup and restore the spirits of those affected,” the Kota Anggerik assemblyman told reporters during a health carnival, held at a surau in Section 2, Shah Alam.
He said Selangor had sent volunteers for post-flood cleanup efforts before, including deployments to Kelantan and Kedah.
The health carnival saw 45 children registering for a subsidised circumcision programme, which cost only RM30.
“With a price reduction of up to 85%, we hope this programme can ease the burden on families.”
He added that the programme, with all costs covered by his office and the state government, would be rolled out in other areas under the Kota Anggerik constituency after the school holidays.
Mohd Najwan also emphasised the importance of basic health screenings, especially for senior citizens.
Free cervical cancer screenings were available too, and he encouraged women to take advantage of the opportunity.
He said the state government had allocated between RM40,000 and RM50,000 for these health carnivals throughout Kota Anggerik.
“Previously, we held carnivals in Bukit Subang and Section 11,” Mohd Najwan said, adding that future carnivals are planned for either Section 16 or Section U9 in Shah Alam.
On another matter, Mohd Najwan said Selangor was investing further in e-sports with the launch of Selangor Future Cup – a Mobile Legends Bang-Bang (MLBB) tournament for secondary school students.
He said the programme aimed to scout new talent and expand the state’s e-sports pool. While acknowledging the established Selangor Red Giants (SRG), he stressed the need to broaden the talent pool.
Mohd Najwan said Selangor Future Cup, a collaboration with Selangor Education Department, was open to secondary school students across the state. So far, 84 secondary schools had confirmed their participation.
The Selangor Future Cup will culminate in a grand final on Feb 22 and 23, with a total prize pool of RM200,000, at Aeon Mall Shah Alam in Section 13.
In other sporting news, Mohd Najwan said Selangor was exploring the possibility of hosting the Malaysia Games (Sukma) at Sepang International Circuit (SIC), while the Para-Sukma opening ceremony may be held at the MBPJ Stadium in Petaling Jaya.
He said the State Secretariat met with SIC management last week to discuss the venue’s feasibility and readiness.
MERSING – Orang ramai diingatkan supaya sentiasa berwaspada dan mematuhi tanda amaran bendera merah di persisiran Pantai Air Papan di sini, berikutan daerah ini masih lagi dalam fasa Monsun Timur Laut (MTL).
Pegawai Angkatan Pertahanan Awam Malaysia (APM) Mersing Lt M (PA) Muhamad Syafiq Mohamad Sabri berkata, meskipun cuaca baik, keadaan angin kencang dan laut bergelora berisiko kepada aktiviti pantai serta berkaitan air.
“Para pengunjung hendaklah mematuhi arahan bendera merah yang melarang untuk mandi-manda selain elakkan menghampiri kawasan pantai bagi menghindari insiden tidak diingini berlaku.
“Pada masa sama, kita ingin menasihati mereka agar mengambil perhatian mengenai maklumat ramalan dan amaran cuaca dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia (MetMalaysia),” katanya kepada Bernama hari ini.
Tinjauan Bernama mendapati pantai yang popular dalam kalangan penduduk setempat itu meriah dengan kehadiran pengunjung pada musim cuti sekolah dan cuti umum Tahun Baharu Cina, baru-baru ini.
Muhamad Syafiq berkata pihaknya sentiasa siap siaga memantau keselamatan pengunjung di lokasi tumpuan ramai itu selain memberikan khidmat nasihat supaya mereka lebih berhati-hati.
“Seorang pegawai dan lima anggota terlibat untuk penugasan di menara penyelamat pantai bagi menjadi ‘penyampai amaran’ kepada pengunjung yang melepasi radius ditetapkan.
“Pasukan ini juga akan membuat rondaan di pantai secara berkala selain memastikan alatan menyelamat sedia digunakan pada bila-bila masa,” katanya.
MetMalaysia telah mengeluarkan amaran angin kencang 40 hingga 50 kilometer sejam (kmsj) dan laut bergelora dengan ombak setinggi 2.5 hingga 3.5 meter dijangka berlaku di kawasan perairan Johor Timur (kategori pertama) pada 4 hingga 7 Feb ini. – BERNAMA
GEORGE TOWN - Seramai 131 petani di negeri ini yang terkesan akibat bencana banjir pada tahun lalu menerima bantuan berjumlah RM239,832.
Exco Agroteknologi, Keterjaminan Makanan dan Pembangunan Koperasi, Fahmi Zainol berkata, bantuan itu diberi melalui Lembaga Pertubuhan Peladang yang akan dikreditkan terus ke dalam akaun pesawah terlibat.
Menurutnya, kawasan sawah yang terjejas akibat banjir melibatkan keluasan sebanyak 140.8 hektar merangkumi sembilan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN).
"Banjir yang melanda baru-baru ini telah memberikan kesan besar kepada sektor pertanian, khususnya pesawah di negeri ini. Musibah ini telah menjejaskan sumber pendapatan mereka yang bergantung sepenuhnya kepada hasil tuaian.
"Sebagai usaha bagi membantu meringankan beban yang ditanggung, kerajaan negeri telah memperuntukkan bantuan berjumlah RM239,832 melalui Lembaga Pertubuhan Peladang kepada mereka," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika menyampaikan ucapan pada Majlis Penyerahan Bantuan Tabung Bencana Tanaman Padi (TBTP) Pulau Pinang di sini pada Isnin.
Fahmi yang juga Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Pantai Jerejak berkata, sembilan DUN merupakan kawasan yang besar dan memerlukan perhatian serta sokongan daripada semua pihak bagi memastikan sektor pertanian negeri terus berkembang dan kekal berdaya saing.
"Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua pihak yang terlibat dalam menjayakan program bantuan ini, khususnya kepada Jabatan Pertanian Pulau Pinang, agensi kerajaan serta semua pihak yang telah bertungkus-lumus dalam memastikan pesawah terjejas mendapat bantuan sewajarnya.
"Kerajaan negeri akan terus berusaha untuk meningkatkan daya tahan sektor pertanian termasuk memperkenalkan langkah mitigasi bagi menghadapi perubahan iklim dan bencana alam yang semakin mencabar," tambahnya.
Beliau juga berharap agar bantuan itu dapat membantu meringankan beban yang ditanggung oleh pesawah dan memberi semangat baharu kepada mereka untuk terus berusaha dalam bidang pertanian.
"Semoga usaha kita ini mendapat keberkatan dan kesejahteraan untuk semua," katanya.
