KAPIT, Jan 11 — Many main stretches across this town were struck by massive traffic jams yesterday, as parents had been rushing since morning to send their children to the hostels.

The new school term starts today.

The heavy afternoon rain exacerbated the situation.

Based on observation by The Borneo Post yesterday, among the congested roads were Jalan Hospital and Jalan Memora leading to SK Methodist and SMK Kapit, where the vehicles were moving ‘bumper-to-bumper’.
