Sarikei River Transportation

This river pontoon has existed for more than fifty years. In the past, it was so busy, full of express boats, speedboats and goods vessels. Today, only few old vessels ply around the river, bringing passengers and goods to the remote villages along the huge Rejang River. 
River transportation has been replaced by road transportation since roads connected cities and towns.  
This scene will slowly also fade into memory if the shipping industries cannot think of new ways to provide cheaper, comfortable and safer transportation.
