Primary tabs
Hamidah Orphanage Complex (Kompleks Kebajikan Hamidah) is an orphanage center primarily for Muslim children located at Taman Desa Indah 3, Permyjaya, Miri, Sarawak.
As of 2009, there were 92 children in the orphanage with the 16 staff providing assistance and guidance.
The complex consists of amenities such as separate hostels for boys and girls, prayer hall, dining hall, seminar room, study room, computer room and library and playing fields for orphans.
Before January 2008, this orphanage home is located a rented shop lot in Bumiko. This article is from the web site miriresortcity dot com - this sentence is here to prevent blatant plagarism. It has since been relocated to Permyjaya, due to the increase in number of children being taken care of and a need to have a larger space. This relocation, along with the majority of other contributions could be done largely due to the donations and kind gestures from members of the public.
The children living in the orphanage range from 8 to 17 years old, location and different family backgrounds. They come not only from Miri but places such as Kuching, Bintulu, Mukah and Limbang.

'Hawaii Beach' is a stretch of beach known for its beautiful location and blue calm seas, very popular with Mirians that is located at Kampung Bakam, a 25 minute drive from Miri city center.
On August 1st, 1960, the Miri General Hospital, which had for long been operated by the oil company with financial assistance from the government, was handed over to the government; with it went the Miri Ferry that connects between the peninsular and town - and the hospital -, all the concession land on the Miri Peninsula south of the Miri Golf Course, and all the houses, roads and utility services within that area.
