MIRI: Highrise shoplots in Miri are being internally renovated and extended illegally by their owners to rent out to workers, and this poses a danger – as evident when three people were trapped in a recent fire.

At about 1.30am on Sunday (Dec 22), Miri Fire and Rescue Department firefighters doused a fire at a shoplot cum entertainment outlet in the city centre.
