Residents of a longhouse in Sungai Asan Bayu near Sibu were shocked when they were informed that an object found on the roof of a unit at the longhouse yesterday could possibly be debris from a Chinese Long March 5B rocket.

Bintangor Fire and Rescue Station (BBP) chief Nicholas Belulin said the discovery of the object measuring 5.8cm wide and 7.62cm long was made by the owner and family of the unit in Rumah Renyam, Sungai Asan Bayu when they returned home on Saturday evening.
