<b>Hotel</b> CCTV may hold clues to 4WD&#39;s missing RM4,000 bumper <b>...</b>

SIBU: The riddle of a bumper worth RM4,000 stolen from a four-wheel-drive vehicle parked at the first floor car park of a hotel here could well be solved in a 'tale of the tape'.

The car park at the hotel is said to have been installed with Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV).

The owner had driven his 4WD from Kapit for checking on Friday morning.

After the car was fixed in the afternoon, he parked his vehicle at a car park on the first floor of a hotel where he stayed overnight.

When he was about to head for Miri at 8.30am the next day, he found the rear bumper of his car missing.

The owner then sought help from the hotel's management to inform it of the incident.

The car owner and two hotel officials subsequently lodged a police report. It was not known if the hotel's CCTV caught footage of the crime.

MIRI: All eyes at Imperial Hotel were drawn to the heart-thumping and acrobatic lions that pranced to the sound of cymbals and reverberating drums yesterday.

The event, which started at 10am sharp, and the stunts performed by three lions held the huge crowd of shoppers and hotel guests, especially children, agog.

The lions later went up to the fifth floor to perform a blessing routine. This was followed by a 10-minute 24-drum performance and breath-taking dance routine on stilts.

The display ended with the lions rearranging mandarin oranges to create an image of a horse and 'Da Ji' (which means 'Good Fortune' in Chinese).

"The lion dance is our annual tradition to bless our business.

"We also hope that the Year of the Horse would bring good fortune and health to our hotel guests," said Nicholas Jong, advertising and promotion executive of Imperial Palace Hotel.

Jong added that a similar lion dance was held at Imperial Palace Hotel on Saturday, and the one-hour display attracted a huge crowd too.

MIRI: A Dutch tourist sustained crippling pain in his leg while jungle trekking at Lambir Hills National Park on Sunday morning, at about 30km from here.

Gokarna Loikar, 50, and his Singaporean mate Sunil, 60, had went on the jungle trek around 9am without, regrettably, any accompanying park attendants.

After trekking for about 4.25 kms in the area, Gokarna ended up tripping with his leg getting immobilised.

A team of firemen from Lopeng fire station and two personnel from Miri Civil Department (JPAM) dashed to the scene upon receiving a distress called on the victim's condition.

The call was made by a hotel manager where one of the tourists was staying in Miri.

According to the hotel manager, one of the victims fortunately could make a call to him asking for help.

The rescue team arrived at the park around 12.30pm and combed the area to find the tourists around 1pm.

Investvine » Openg to replace outgoing <b>Sarawak</b> chief minister?

Johari-Tun-Abang-Haji-OpengSince Malaysia's longest serving chief minister, Sarawak's Taib Mahmud, has announced his retirement by this month, speculations are rife who will replace him as the leader of the resource-rich state, Malaysia's largest.

Many observers are expecting deputy president Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg (64), a Malay, who is also state housing and tourism minister, to take over. An engineer by profession, he is the son of Sarawak's first governor, Tun Abang Haji Openg. Based on seniority in the party, he is seen as the most qualified person to lead the state.

However, Taib Mahmud reportedly has dropped three names behind closed doors as suitable candidates for his succession. Besides Openg, these are second resource planning and environment minister Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan and minister in chief minister's office and minister of special functions Tan Sri Adenan Satem.

Openg enjoys the support of a solid grassroots base and many Malays and non-Malays alike see him as a truly amicable and competent leader. Rumours say that we is also the preferred choice of the government in Putrajaya. Satem, on the other hand, would also be highly qualified but suffers from poor health and reportedly has a pacemaker. Tengah Ali Hasan could be presented as second in the state in case Openg is chosen as chief minister.
