When I need to attend official duties in Mukah, the first thing
come to my mind is Selangau/Mukah road condition. I used to travel using this road whenever I go to Mukah for my official trip but lately the road condition is getting worst. It turned like 4X4 trek. But it should not be an issue and nothing is impossible.
Recently I have to attend a meeting in Mukah town then I talk to myself, how I am go to Mukah this time!! There is still bus service plying Sibu to Mukah daily at RM18.50 for one way. Before I make up my mind which transports I going to used. Luckily my friend recommend me to used speedboat service from Sibu to Dalat before taking a taxi or local van to Mukah.
I
never used speedboat to Dalat all this while, so I opt to use speedboat this time. My meeting is at 230 pm then I decide to take Super Jet 225 No2 speedboat at 730 as per our record. But we were surprise that there is a new speedboat in operation and depart Sibu to Dalat at 715 am. Newly furnish speedboat with new engine Suzuki Four Stroke 225 hp can accommodate at least 17 passengers at one time. I just need to spend RM20 per person per trip. 
I decide to sit at the back seat of the boat so that I can take pictures along the way as many as possible. I have made right decision and the trip was very interesting. The journey is really good and awesome. Passing by the Malay village, Iban longhouses and Melanau’s fishing village make my eye widely open. Seeing the local people transfer the long stretch sago log along the Igan River and do fishing activities is interesting view. We do realize that some of the area along Igan River does not have water supply because we can see they do washing and taking bath on the jetty along the riverbank. That remind me that we have to appreciate what we have in my life because there are people who cannot afford to enjoy what we had.
2
hours journey cannot be complete because we cannot go through Sg Sut due to water level. We arrive at Sg Sut at 8.50 am and disembark from the speedboat to transfer to Dalat town by local van. During the short journey from Sg Sut to Dalat, there not much to see instead of local village. By 9.10 am we arrive in Dalat bazaar. As first timer to Dalat bazaar, it great experience but feel un-easy because all eyes are on you….feel like “an alliance”!! It is norm scenario in small town like Dalat and most local people know each other.
After do short tour, we decide to look for transport from
Dalat to Mukah. Friendly local people will ask you whether you need transport or not. The transport charges is between RM30 to RM40 per vehicle. Taxi has fixed rate at RM40 per trip. If you are lucky you only need to pay RM10 per person when there is another passenger using the same car to Mukah town. Trip from Dalat to Mukah only takes you 45 minute ride. A trip with interesting memories that not to forget…..
