SIBU (Jan 12): The Public Works Department (JKR) has temporarily closed the Jalan Dr Wong Soon Kai and Jalan Ling Kai Cheng sections of the traffic light intersection with Jalan Deshon here until Sunday (Jan 14).

When contacted, Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) deputy chairman Mohammed Abdullah Izkandar Roseley advised road users to plan their route properly during this period.
