Our columnist took a trip to Miri in Sarawak, and was smitten by its beauty.
Miri, Sarawak was granted city status in 2005, and today, it has a population of 350,000. It’s a beautiful place flanked by rolling hills and the crystal clear ocean, and has a wealth of natural resources.There were 35 of us visiting Miri, and Yii took it upon himself to tell us all some interesting anecdotes about the city, the state and its many diverse cultures.
The mayor also talked about the Iban, Bidayuh, Melanau and Orang Ulu of Sarawak, among others. He mentioned all the wonderful aspects of the major indigenous groups in Miri. The well, which is affectionately called the"Grand Old Lady of Miri” is a state monument of the Sarawak Government. If I may offer my two sen, perhaps the breathtaking beauty of this city has yet to be fully discovered and appreciated? At the same time, I think the people in Miri still prefer the serenity and peace of a quiet city, undisturbed by rowdy visitors!
It was in Miri that I rediscovered my passion for travel. I’m sure you will instantly fall in love with this modest city, like me. Additionally, you may also crave for the unmistakable flavours and smells of Sarawak laksa imbued with an aromatic mix of herbs and the pale kolo mee with its irresistible flavours. I am feeling hungry now!
He thanked us for making the effort to support domestic tourism. His sincerity and gesture should inspire relevant authorities in the peninsular.Ting was also seen warmly greeting local tourist guides and taxi drivers outside the airport terminal. I think more people handling Malaysian tourism should follow the example of their Sarawakian counterparts and go down to the field to show solidarity with travel operators.
