MIRI: The Miri Port Authority appreciation dinner, scheduled for today at Mega Hotel here has been postponed until a later date as part of Covid-19’s preventative measures.
In a statement released yesterday, it said that the decision was made following the advice from the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (JPBN) and the declaration as a pandemic by World Health Organisation (WHO).
“It is vital that we recognise the recent surge in recorded Covid-19 cases and it is our duty and responsibility as an agency under the Sarawak Civil Service to protect the wellbeing of the Miri Port Authority staff, customers, stake holders and public.
