My take :
First all the hoopla about getting a direct Shanghai flight, which didn't come to fruition. Then this Singapore direct flight which didn't last a year. The sad part is, it seems that the Singapore flights are actually quite popular. Yet this was suspended. This is all becoming a really bad joke.

Dry Weather In Miri Taking Its Toll

MIRI, - The dry weather in Miri Division over the last three weeks is taking its toll on the people, with over 1,000 rural folk being in need of clean water supply and 200,000 more affected by the haze.

Miri Resident and district offices would be sending tankers to bring clean water to the affected population soon.
