MIRI: The sight of a poverty-stricken woman living in hermit-like conditions in a mosquito-infested isolated forest near Miri city shocked Sarawak Assistant State Communications Minister Datuk Lee Kim Shin.

Lee, who is also Senadin assemblyman, visited Sidatang Gabak after being alerted to her plight by a concerned member of the public who had been hiking in the vicinity.
