The Chief Minister: Mr Speaker, Sir, I have and would like to make a little correction to my statement in this House yesterday relating to the Kampong Tiong Bahru fire.

In my statement acknowledging with gratitude the generous donations from other governments, I inadvertently mentioned Brunei, whereas it was the people and the government of North Borneo that donated a sum of $5,000 to the Fire Relief Fund started by this Government. Sir, I apologise for this error.
