A 47-year-old dream.
After 47 years dream(1963-2010) to have a road. it will finally come true under the 10th Malaysian Plan
The road project link is connecting from the existing road from
Kanowit-Poi-Ngemah-Song-Kapit,The road once completed will link thousands of Iban longhouses with major towns of Sibu, Kapit, Kanowit and Song.

seriously a long wait~ a road to song. wonder if it will stretch til my father's longhouse. thanks for the highlight tho.
Hi,
My team and I are going over to Song in the next couple of days. Any idea where I can find a map of the town? Also, is buying petrol expensive there? We may need to take the boat to go further down/up the Katibas, so we are wondering if it would be cheaper to buy petrol from Sibu first before getting to Song.
Hope you can help advise! Thanks in advance!
