Local leaders including myself had constantly reminded our road users to always comply with safety measures outlined in the standard operating procedures (SOP) when using the ferry services that are available throughout the state. This is of utmost importance to prevent unwanted incidents from happening again in near futre.
We are aware that if the SOP or security measures are complied with and carried out properly, any untoward incidents or tragedies like the one happened at Triso-Sebuyau Ferry point on new year's day.
However, it had happened and many lives were lost in this accident, some of the victims were just teenagers and sadly a baby as well. I took the opportunity to extend my deepest condolences to the victim’s family, hoping that they would stay strong throughout this ordeal.
What had happened was very sad for all Sarawakians because tragedy had claimed the lives of nine members of a family was also heartbreaking for all of us. I also urged the crowd not to rush things when using the ferry services apart from complying with the rules set by the relevant authorities there. I hope all of us have learned a valuable lesson from this tragedy so that to avoid similar tragedies from happening again in the future. We should not take safety for granted because prevention is always better than cure.
