MIRI: Assistant Minister of Tourism, Datuk Lee Kim Shin has requested Miri City Council (MCC) to do some repair works to the Old Citizens Street here for the convenience of the public.

Lee was accompanied by MCC Mayor, Adam Yii during the visit.
Meanwhile, Lee praised the effort made by the Miri Chinese Chess Association for organising chess games among the old folks as such activities could help to keep them (old folks) mentally alert.
