KUCHING, Oct 23: The Public Works Department (JKR) Sarawak has strongly condemned the theft of cables in the vicinity of the newly completed Sejingkat Bridge, which resulted in damage to components of its electrical system and public infrastructure.
In a statement today, JKR Sarawak said it viewed the incident seriously, warning that such irresponsible acts could disrupt the functioning of the electrical system, compromise road users’ safety and affect the smooth operation of the infrastructure.
