By Jon Tam poi

Bandar Seri Begawan - A Group of four-wheel drive owners held a cross-country run, which began on Saturday and ended yesterday.

The run was in line with supporting local tourism and presented an opportunity for owners of the powerful vehicles, which ranged from 2.5 to 4CC, to familiarise themselves with several routes in the country. Owners are planning a major event in the future to encourage four-wheel drive sports in the country.

Drivers consisted mostly of retired lecturers, army personnel and other professionals along with a journalist to record the journey. The event aimed to enhance the marketable quality of Brunei and increase extreme sports tourism in the country, while assisting remote areas to develop through such activities.

The trip began in Lamunin and ended at the long house of Merangking in Ulu Belait. Imam of the long house and principal of the nearby school, Awg Mohd Shahrin bin Mohd Halim, welcomed the entourage, who stayed overnight at the community hall of the long house. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
