  Translated from the article: "The suspension bridge that connects Salimbongan Village, Lembang District and Mesakada Village, Batulappa District, Pinrang Regency , requires government attention. The reason is that the 80×3 meter bridge already looks fragile. Local youth leader Muin said the condition of the bridge was very dangerous."
