Sundowners Stretch A Leg For Tiger Shows Across The Border
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Some local 'sundowners' are said to be making a beeline to what is commonly known as "Tiger Shows" - as they can just cross the border at Kuala Lurah and walk a few metres to Tedungan in Limbang to see such tantalising performances.

According to sources, said they were offered to see such shows for a fee of around RM$50 per person.

Some border-crossers usually flocked to Tedungan for a tipple as the sun set in, in time for them to return to Brunei Darussalam before the immigration control post closed at around 10 pm.

Armed with passports, they just need to walk to cross both Brunei and Sarawak immigration control posts before arriving at their favourite bars and cafés on the other side of the border.

The place has been booming in recent years as sundowners - mostly non-Muslims - swarm the area in the evening in search of entertainment after a hard day's work.
