IT is a crowded field in Bawang Assan, a hot seat in the Sarawak election but the fight is basically between two "lions".

The old lion Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh is 79 while the younger one is 57-year-old Senator Robert Lau and Bawang Assan sits in the Sibu region where politics, power and money form an unholy triangle.
