SIBU — Phase 4 of the Sibu flood mitigation project, aimed at protecting 618 hectares including Bukit Assek, is ready for tender but awaits approval from the Sarawak Planning Authority (SPA), said Bukit Assek assemblyman Joseph Chieng.
He hopes the tender process can begin this year so work may start in 2026. The phase addresses a critical flood-prone stretch between Jalan Aman and Kampung Hilir.
Speaking at a Hari Raya Aidiladha event at Masjid Al-Muhajirin Sentosa, where he also donated a cow for charity, Joseph emphasized the importance of compassion and unity across communities.
