Fire razes 10‑door longhouse in remote Penan settlement in Ulu Baram

A fire completely destroyed a 10-door longhouse in Kampung Long Jekitan, Ulu Baram, Marudi.

The Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department received a distress call at about 2.50pm and alerted the Marudi Police Station.

Due to its remote location, the fire team planned to reach the site the following day, as it requires an eight-hour journey via logging roads.
