Four crocodiles were caught at Sungai Beluru Bakong in a Monday-to-Tuesday operation, but the animal residents specifically wanted removed was not among them, according to the team involved. The Borneo Post reported on Oct 23 that the Joran Jerikan team worked with the Sarawak Forestry Corporation from about 4pm on Monday until around 10am on Tuesday. The largest of the four measured 15 feet, or about 4.57 metres. This was an earlier operation, not a capture taking place today. Team member Balan Lawai told the newspaper that residents had asked for help because of crocodiles in the river. He said the 12-member team used fishing hooks and comprised licensed crocodile hunters. The team may return following further requests from the village head and residents. Balan said a particular crocodile identified by residents had not yet been caught. For communities along the Bakong river, the four captures should not be read as an all-clear: the report records a limited operation and an unresolved target, not confirmation that the river is free of crocodiles. No date for a return operation was given.

马来西亚红新月会志愿者与医护人员为Bakong Sungai Seruas两户家庭送上食物及医疗支援。 美里区分会于9月12日星期六展开社区关怀探访。两户家庭获得基本食物篮，医生及医务人员则提供问诊、查阅医疗记录，并针对现有健康问题给予建议。 美里市政局、PKB美里及美里市诊所也参与这项行动。这是针对有关家庭的社区服务，并不是一项已经开放申请的普遍援助计划；报道没有作出这样的宣布。 这项安排把即时家庭援助与基本健康评估结合，让志愿者更了解有关家庭下一步可能需要的支援。

Malaysia Red Crescent volunteers and medical personnel brought food aid and health support to two families in Sungai Seruas, Bakong. The Miri District branch held the community-care visit on Saturday, Sept 12. Families received essential food baskets, while doctors and medical officers provided consultations, reviewed medical records and offered advice on existing health concerns. The visit also involved Miri City Council, PKB Miri and Klinik Kesihatan Bandaraya Miri. It was a targeted community-service effort rather than a general aid announcement, and the report did not state that the programme had opened a wider application scheme. The model combines immediate household assistance with a basic health check, giving volunteers a clearer view of what support the families may need next.
