However, attempts to refloat a vessel had to be put off as a H2O turn was still high.

Belaga District Police Chief, DSP Bakar Sebau said a bid to erect a proxy highway started during 1.30pm today, as well as a stretch in between a riverbank as well as a place of a fallen vessel was about 50 metres.

Two bulldozers from a Iron Wall Logging Camp, about 30km from a place of a mishap, successfully done a proxy highway on a left bank of a stream nearby where a capsized vessel is located.

According to our plan, scuba divers will offshoot cables on a vessel to be pulled by both bulldozers. However, a H2O turn is still tall as well as a divers cannot do their work, he told reporters during a location, here, today.

Bakar said a heavy sleet last night was said to be between a factors causing a turn of Sungai Rajang to go up. The Sarawak Hydro government had been destined to tighten a dam to capacitate a H2O turn in a stream to drop.

A Bernama consult during a place found a scuba team headed by ASP Saga Chunggat was still waiting for a H2O turn to drop to implement a cable to a fallen boat. Bernama
