A site visit conducted on this morning showed that the head of the ‘horse drinking cliff’ had totally collapsed.

When contacted, Assistant Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Datuk Sebastian Ting described it as a sad incident for Mirians, because the “horse drinking” cliff was one of Miri’s iconic landmarks.

“I will submit a full report on the incident to my ministry for further action and investigations,” he said.
When met today during his visit, he said that he would propose to his ministry to build a replica of the ‘horse drinking water’ cliff formation.—DayakDaily
