Ba’kelalan Stolport Vital For Supplies Distribution To Isolated Villages At Maligan Highlands
SEPANG – Known as the last frontier of Sarawak, Ba’kelalan is a difficult 8-hour drive, half of which is on a tough logging road on a four-wheel drive, from the nearest town of Lawas. Since the nation-wide Movement Control Order was imposed on March 18 to prevent Covid-19 infections from spreading, the communities living here have relied on air transport for medical supplies and essentials like sugar, cooking oil and flour.
In early April, the first food-aid mission from Miri landed at the Ba’kelalan STOLport, or short take-off and landing airport.
