Bintulu

Bintulu Airport reminds me very much of Miri Airport. Even the town is quite similar to Miri. Here, I feel at home. It's safe and it's near the beach. One can simply walk to the Bintulu Waterfront in the evening and start fishing, walking, or even fly a few kites all at the same time! How long has it been since I had the luxury of taking a stroll when the sun starts going down the hills?

Evening by the Bintulu Sea

Ever since I got to know my friends from Bintulu, I have always had a strong yearning to see how Bintulu looks like. It's near the sea, near the oil and gas downstream industry. Will it be polluted? Will it be like Lumut, when it was 20 years ago? with just a few shop houses, and few housing estates? My friends talk about Bintulu like it's a small town, not worth putting it on the map. There's no shopping malls, they say. Quiet, no clubs, no bars to hang out, no entertainment. That was about 5 years ago.

Today, the town is quite developed. I see many rising buildings especially shopping malls and new hotels. The town takes about 20 minutes to finish 'touring' by car, and that does not even include the industrial area.

In the evening, one can see several men and women in coloured coveralls riding on motorbikes, or in buses returning home after a long day's work. It is really a very nice town to live in.
