MIRI: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) will start a four-times-a-week flight from here to Hong Kong with a transit in Kota Kinabalu starting May 3.

Although the new route would not be a direct flight it would at least serve as a first step for Miri to become a popular tourist destination, especially for visitors from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and the Philippines.

MAS would also offer promotional fares for the new flight and local tourism players were also expected to carry out tourism products promotion in Hong Kong.

The MAS commercial team had agreed to put the Miri-Kota Kinabalu-Hong Kong flight under their Golden Holidays package after the city had been left out from the list of destinations under the packages introduced earlier this year.

Lee Kim Shin, Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) member had been fighting for MAS to start such a flight, said the airline’s previous arguments that it did not serve a flight to Mulu and that Miri was a non-capital city could not be accepted as reasons for the city to be left out from the package of destinations.

MIRI: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has agreed to start a transit flight from here to Guangzhou and Hong Kong with a stop in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah after being unable to fulfil a request for direct flights between Miri and the two destinations in China.

A mobilisation problem was the reason given for the direct flight proposal to be turned down.

MAS' agreement to start the transit flight was a small breakthrough to bring more tourists here and would be working on the details of the proposed flight and had yet to give the actual date for the flight commencement.

Although MAS was preferred to start three direct flights weekly from here to the two destinations, the proposed transit flight would receive overwhelming response to make the national airline to reconsider direct flights.

MAS Golden Holiday Package management team would be coming to Miri on April 19 to find out about the tourism products available here, following his request after the resort city was not listed for the holiday packages.

Calls made by people in the State for another airline to serve the domestic routes in Sarawak should be taken up by the Transport Ministry.

There had not been much improvement since the rationalisation exercise in Sarawak last August that saw Fly Asian Xpress (FAX) taking over most of the domestic routes in the State.

"MIRI: Miri will be the first place in Sarawak to have ubiquitous wireless Internet connectivity upon completion of the citywide WiFi Hot Zones Miri pilot project.

The project was being carried out by telecommunication infrastructure and service provider Sacofa and Danawa Resources Sdn Bhd which recently launched the DeConnexion WiFi service.

The company has set up Wi-Fi Hotzones throughout the city centre in the first phase of its rollout plan. Additional hotzones will be set up over the next few months to provide at least 80 per cent wireless coverage of Miri city. The suburbs of Miri would also be covered in subsequent deployments.

The wi-fi coverage is based on industry standard 802.11 b/g standards which enable users to access wireless network with similarly equipped notebooks, computers, PDAs and wi-fi equipped Smartphones. Users will be able to enjoy unlimited Internet speeds of up to 384 kbps.

According to him, Miri would be connected via high bandwidth to Hong Kong in two days’ time. Presently users experience slow connection due to small bandwidth.

To use this service, users can register online for instant access. The service is provided free of charge until Dec 31 this year."
