By Salawati Hj Yahya and Hj Minor Absah

Bandar Seri Begawan - Visiting Miri Police Deputy Chief, Supt. Abang Abdillah Dato Abg Othman, assured the safety of Bruneians holidaying in Miri.

He added that a large number of reported cases have been solved and that criminals have been apprehended.

He urged the Bruneian visitors not to hesitate to approach the Miri Police Headquarters for assistance, stressing that the Miri Police and other relevant enforcement agencies are continuously striving to safeguard the safety of Brunei visitors.

A delegation of nine senior officials from Miri who are in the Sultanate for a three-day official visit, yesterday visited the Brunei Muara District Office to exchange views and discuss bilateral issues pertaining security and trade.

The delegation members gave a briefing to Penghulus, village chiefs as well as senior officials from the Brunei Muara District Office on the safety of visitors to Miri as a confidence building measure.

Robert Koh, the President of the Brunei Chinese Chambers of Commerce, during the briefing highlighted the successful bilateral trade that Brunei and Miri have been enjoying for the past 30 years. The exchange rate and close people-to-people relations that Bruneians and Mirians enjoy have been among the many factors contributing to the success but the high crime rate as well as car thefts had resulted in a decrease in the number of Bruneian visitors to Miri, he told the visiting delegation.
