Sarawak’s rivers serve as the super highways for rural communities, especially in #Baleh, #Ngemah, #Katibas, etc. Most of the #boatmen are experts in manoeuvring their way along these rivers.

They are familiar with the treacherous rivers – where dangerous tree trunks and rocks are; every turn of the meandering rivers; and raging waters.

This photo shows how the boatmen and their passengers are pushing a boat upstream in a shallow passage of a river in Baleh.
