MUKAH, May 28: In view of the upcoming Gawai Dayak celebration and school holidays, the Sarawak Public Works Department (JKR) will extend the operating hours of ferry services in Mukah Division.
The extended operating hours will be in effect from May 31 to June 4 to accommodate the expected increase in traffic at three ferry terminals in Mukah, namely Kuala Igan, Muara Lassa and Batang Paloh.
