Rex cinema-turned-hostel damaged but no one hurt

By RASHITHA A. HAMID

KUALA LUMPUR: Backpackers fled their beds and watched helplessly as fire damaged the Red Dragon hostel, which was once the landmark Rex cinema, in Jalan Sultan.  

When the fire broke out at 8.30am yesterday, about 50 backpackers in the hostel were either sleeping or resting in rooms partitioned by gypsum boards. No one was injured.
