River Disaster Strikes Sibu (Not Really)

Timber Companies! Global Warming! Aliens!


It's not as freaky as it looks like from here in Sibu. Looks like normal scenery shot. But there were still some driftwood and junk floating by the river, attracting locals who have never seen such strange phenomenon. However this is just moderate as to what's happened to Kapit yesterday. Click on pictures to read the details:






Could be the timber companies. Could be the government who as of now is not doing anything to calm the people down. Could be the Bakun dam that they will flood in a few more days.

The Iban dude said it's a bad omen. The Chinese dude said it's the end of the world. The other dude I met at the ferry point said Kapit got a lot of fish harvest (half-dead fishes), sounds just like what happened prior to the 2004 tsunami. Whatever this leads to I suggest some of you in the low lying areas to pack up just in case the 1960s mega flood repeats itself. And here's a video on Kapit in Facebook (click)
