The year ends with a statistics of dengue cases in Miri, with almost 90% decrease of dengue cases for the year 2011 compared to last year. The number of dengue cases are less than 10 cases per month by the end of November, with 93 cases compared to 746 cases in 2010. It is not known if these are confirmed cases or suspected cases.

When compared to 2007-2009 figures, 93 cases seemed fairly normal as the (missing) statistics of 2010 spike of 746 cases seemed like an anomaly.

2010 746
2011 (November) 93

Submitted by eyeonmiri on Fri, 2011-08-05 10:37. :: Eyes on Miri | Crime fighting | News & Events | Statistics


The Miri Police Narcotics division investigated 349 drugs related cases from Jan 1 to July 31 of this year. Four hundred and seventy-six (476) people were arrested for their involvement in drugs in Miri in the first six months of this year (2011). Miri police chief ACP Jamaludin Ibrahim disclosed this during the ‘Program Polis Bersama Masyarakat’ yesterday.

Drug involvement-related Arrests Jan-July 2011 476

If this isn't a shocking number, then what is?

There was no public statement or it was not reported on the news on what the police are doing to curb this, or what is being done. What does this say about the state of drug crime related activities in Miri?

The Miri Non-International Airport visitor traffic from 2006 until July 2010. Miri Airport is still the third busiest airport after Kota Kinabalu International Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Every day, there are an average of 110 flights going in and out at the non-international airport.

My take:

It seems that there are plans for an 'extension' of the Miri Non-International Airport terminal yet again and a budget for this is being evaluated. With such minor traffic increase (see above table) since 2006, it seems as if the 'extension' is not to ease the traffic, but rather a 'fix' to right all the design flaws brought by the terminal 'rebuild' in 2003.
