‘Unlicensed Miri hotels lack safety features’

Law says one of the offences committed by operators of unlicensed hotels is not having good fire escape routes.

MIRI: A surprise inspection conducted by Miri Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) and Miri City Council (MCC) on 20 unlicensed hotels here has revealed that almost all these premises do not comply with the safety requirements for buildings enforced by the government.
The firefighters and MCC enforcement officers – led by Miri Bomba Superintendent II Ahmad Nizam Sapaiee – ran the fire-risk checks from Feb 7 to 10 on hotels with 20 rooms and above that were not registered with the council.
