PETALING JAYA: The iconic Serpent Head sea stack at Bako National Park in Sarawak recently collapsed due to natural causes, says Sarawak tourism, arts and culture minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.
However, Karim said that the rock formation’s collapse would not affect the inflow of visitors to the national park, which has many other attractions in the area.
He said no one could have prevented the destruction of the Bako National Park attraction, which collapsed due to natural causes, Berita Harian reported.
“The sandstone base of the rock had gradually eroded over a long period of time due to strong waves.
“I am saddened by the loss of the rock, which was a major attraction for visitors looking to capture memorable pictures, but what happened was due to the laws of nature,” Karim was quoted as saying.
Shaped like a snake’s head, the rock formation was a major draw for visitors to Bako National Park and was believed to have been shaped by waves and seawater over thousands of years. - FMT
