SIPITANG: The Public Works Department (JKR) and the concession company have been urged to reconstruct the concrete bridge in Kampung Mendulong that was destroyed by floods last year.
Sindumin Community Development Leader (PPM) Sani Miasin said the bridge that crosses Sungai Muaya was destroyed by strong currents during the floods.
