By Liza Mohd

Kuala Belait - Officers recently busted an illegal rice wine 'brewery', which was allegedly run by a Vietnamese at a house along Jalan Mualana in Kuala Belait. The home-brewed rice wine (more commonly known as `tuck') was stored inside used mineral water bottles.

The foreign worker was brought in for questioning.

Meanwhile, two bottles of liquor without proper import permits were seized from two Indian workers at a rented house in Jalan Laksmana.

Thirty officers were involved in the joint operation codenamed "Pintas 37", which targeted several rented houses around the Belait District such as Jalan Maulana, Jalan Dipa Negara Mumong, Kampong Sungai Pandan Kuala Belait and Jalan Laksmana.

The operation, which started at 9.30pm, was headed by the Belait Immigration Enforcement Section. Personnel from the Royal Brunei Police Force, as well as the Customs Preventive and Intelligence Unit Belait, were also involved.

Some 113 foreign workers from Indonesia, Philippines, India, Vietnam and Malaysia were inspected that night. Seven of them were issued with special passes.

Those with any information on any illegal activities can call 3331879/3341938 or 2383555/2383777. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
