MIRI: The illegal extension of shop lots here is quite a serious issue, said Miri mayor Adam Yii.
Yii, when met by New Sarawak Tribune yesterday, expressed his concern over the problems.
“Miri City Council (MCC) is taking action against the illegally-built extension, especially when it is blocking the five-foot-way, causing an inconvenience to the public,” he said.
He added that the council has issued demolishing notices to the shop lot owners.
The notice is issued under the Sarawak Buildings Ordinance 1994.
