Temporary closure of Painted Cave at Niah National Park

KUCHING: The Painted Cave at Niah National Park, Miri has been temporarily closed for visiting, effective from Jan 13, until further notice.

“Our team is actively working on repairing the walkways.

“As a precautionary measure, Painted Cave will be closed for visiting until further notice.

“The safety of our visitors is our top priority and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time,” it said in a statement posted on its Facebook page
