Sarawak Police Commissioner Datuk Mohd Azman Ahmad Sapri said the royal motorcade, consisting of 25 vehicles, is scheduled to kick off from Lawas on Sept 7 and will conclude on Sept 13 at Telok Melano in Lundu.

During the tour, he said Their Majesties will also be visiting several districts and make several pitstops along the way.

“The journey will commence in Lawas on Sept 7 and the royal entourage will be heading to Brunei first for a private programme and will be staying there until Sept 9, before continuing the journey.

“From Brunei, the entourage will move towards Miri through ICQS Sungai Tujuh before embarking on a 1,198-kilometre journey towards Telok Melano in Lundu.

“Along the way, they will make eight pitstops, including Lawas, Miri, Bintulu, Tatau, Sibu, Sri Aman, Kuching, and Lundu. Additionally, the tour will pass through 12 other districts in Sarawak, extending from Miri to Kuching,” he said at a press conference held at Sarawak Contingent Police Headquarters here this morning.

Meanwhile, he also reminded the public that the use of drones is strictly prohibited at the pitstops and along the entourage route.

“The relevant authorities allowed to fly drones include the state government, the Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas) or the Istana Negara that are approved by the Civil Aviation Authority Malaysia (CAAM),” he said.

The public is  also urged to adhere to road regulations and cooperate with the personnel on duty during the tour to ensure the smooth progression and safety of Their Majesties’ journey.
