Logs detained at Jalan Oya/Stapang, Selangau.
SIBU: A total of 100 logs were seized in two separate operations in Selangau by the enforcement team from Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC), thanks to a public tip-off.
The enforcement team from SFC Sibu Regional Office was dispatched to a location at Jalan Oya/Stapang, Selangau upon receiving information on Wednesday.
The team found 40 pieces of illegal logs at Sungai Alat and subsequently found another 60 logs near Sungai Alat Bridge.
