Eight police reports have been lodged in the past three days by Iban against Miri district police chief ACP Gan Tina Kee for insulting their religious rite called 'miring' when Gan and 80 police personnel destroyed their 'piring' (sacred offerings) on Dec 24 last year.

The incident took place at a blockade site in Sungai Bekelit, Sibuti, about 60km from Miri, where Iban from the five longhouses were protesting against Tung Huat Pelita Niah Plantation Sdn Bhd for trespassing into their native customary rights (NCR) land.
