wow..look like for now (23 July 2007, 12.10pm) is the first to choose "Slightly disappointed. Doesn't live up to hype."

i'm a pure Mirian. Born in miri, finish my study in miri and now working in miri. i'm not completely disappointed but just felt that miri should had done better, so much better.

we have so much to offer. yet those advantages is only in the hand of those few ppl. miri, for me is not a city and are still not ready to be a city. mentally we are not prepared, economically are not ready and so much more that we are not ready. i think, only miri's infrastructure is good enuf to be call a city.

I lived in Miri (off Pujut 1) years ago.....13 to be exact. It was a wonderful place back then.....you'd just gotten the Holiday Inn & Rhiga Royal. I lived there for 2 years & really enjoyed my time there. The people were wonderful. I was searching to see if some of the "hot spots" of then are still around.....fond memories of "Benny's Lounge" & the "Boat Club". Hawaii Beach was also a favorite place to hang out. I missed it so much tonight that I had to go online searching for any old photos of the place I once called home. I've lived in many place and Miri is among the "tops" in my book! Thanks for having this website!

Your Miri site is beautifully illustrated. The only regret is there is no information for food outlets for dining. Surely this is one of the most important essentials for any would-be visitors!

Hi lawlee, thanks for pointing out the lack of dining information. I've been wanting to do the segment however as even though I love food but I have trouble with knowing exactly what foods I'm eating, so this - and time - poses a problem.

Anyone reading this is encouraged to contribute and send in their own pictures and write-up / review on foods to be put up, credit will be given. We'll appreciated it. Please send it to admin(at)miriresortcity.com.

this is a good web.
i hope there will b a section about Miri's coming activities. so any coming activities we can know it here... to make sure we don miss the change to the nice actitvities. thankx

Dear Webmaster,
I am a mirian. I too have a contribution to make for our miri people. I have created a handy and helpful website (http://dohisway,com) which brings information quickly and conveniently to its users. Please check this out to see it is appropriate to be included in your Miri Links column. Many thanks.

This is Blasphemy! This is Madness! This is Sarawak!

Under your section "Miri your second Home" there is a paragraph which states "Although their number is small is Miri, respect for them is high. The Indians and the Sikhs have their own temple. Although it is not a public holiday, Deepavali is celebrated just like the other festive celebrations except it is in a smaller scale."

I would like to point out that the word "Indian" is a race. Just like the word "Chinese". Do not distinguish the Sikhs from Indians. As mentioned earlier "Indians" are a race. Sikhs are a religion, just like Christians, Hindus and Muslims. Indians are a a multi religious society and are composed of all religions. It might be good idea to amendment the Incorrect statement.

Thanks anonymous, will correct the mistake.

Please post this up into your events pages!

A FREE 3hour educational workshop which is fun, engaging, interactive and should not be missed!

Thanks Kevin, I contemplated putting this up but because you haven't yet even decided on a Miri date it makes it almost irrelevant and looks as if its an afterthought.

Until a date and venue is proposed, your comment posted here anyway will have to make do as an announcement for the moment. You may contact us at admin[at]miriresortcity.com when the official date and venue is decided.

We appreciate your feedback for informing us about this, we hope to hear from you soon with updated info.

Good Food in Miri

i think there's something i would like to share about good food in Miri. I seldom take Laksa but after i've try in this shop, i started to love it! It really suit my taste(might not be yours, but it seems to be crowded for most of the time lol) It is located in Krokop which is nearby a Perodua Showroom next to the Krokop roundabout. The shop is facing to a large garage and at below of Sport T-shirt(if you know where it is). I'm in kl right now and unfortunately i can't show you the photos of it. i kind of forget about the road name and the shop name already so if someone has gone there please take a shot of the place and the nice laksa to share here ok?

instead of the tasty laksa, there's a penang fried kueh teow is one of my favorite as well. it is located at Pelita Commercial Centre in a shop named erm...i forgot. hehehe... well i must admit that i'm a very absend minded person but hey, who cares ok? lol it is opposite of the Pelita Coffee Shop ok.

Chicken Rice - Country Chicken Rice behind Mega hotel is great too! (opposite of TOTO)(don't forget to ask for its tasty soup!)

Finally, Kolok Mee! Guys! if you come to Sarawak and have never try our kolok Mee you are considering had never been truly visited Sarawak! i mean it. lol i love canton mee at the market place. it's an old stall with old people who still running it. They have a branch now at Pelita Commercial Centre (commonly known as 2020) which located below this Hotspot Bistro! they have a very nice western food as well in Hotspot! You should go and try it. it's nearby Cherrie Berrie and Balcony!

Yep, you happen to come here at the worst time: a heatwave and not any substantial rainfall since March, even until today. In fact, honestly it's been like this for some time now; the city is just unbearably hot at times, due to (uncontrolled) open burning. We don't go out unless necessary nowadays, it's taken a toll on businesses and some of the local farmers.

Thanks for your kind comments.

I was doing some travel research when I come across your Miri website. I am writing to congratulate you for putting together such a great site about the city. Keep up the good work!

Hello. And Bye.

You miri people online are not very friendly! How are they in real life actually??

Thank you, tim. All the best in your travel research!

Hi, would like to add on. Btw, Eastwood Valley golf and country club's website is not http://www.eastwood-valley-golf.com. it has been changed to www.eastwoodvalley.com, do make a change. thanks =)

This has been changed accordingly. Thanks for informing.

A guy apparently opened fire on middle school students with a rifle. The math teacher, David Benke, stopped him and probably saved dozens of childrens' lives at the risk of his own life. This man is a true hero.

You can read the news article here http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_colo_school_shooting - Teacher tackles gunman supected in school shooting http://www.youvoid.info/piczz/k/n.gif

We should all take a moment of silence for this man. Thank you.

As I look from the window of my apartment at 4pm in a northly and an easterly direction all I can see are clouds of choking smoke that must be affecting the health of the citizens living there.

What's my point? At 8am these fires were not raging, they have been started deliberateley by the plantation bosses.

Now take some real photo's of what tourists can expect when thay visit Miri instead of all the Resort City bullsh. and the lack of local government concern regarding the health of their citizens. Last year was bad enough. Is there more to come?

I'm European and have worked in Miri for the last two years and have yet to see any action taken over this annual event. Maybe the 'city' fathers want tourist to come and see the traditional Miri ways of destroying the environment.

Well said.

Nice site, well done! I have visited Miri a few times over the past few years (a wonderful venue!) and will be returning on an invitation to speak on 13 March 2010 about environmental remediation and the solution for a greener earth using effective microorganisms (EM). As the event, organized by the Lions clubs in and around Miri, is open to all, hope you can put this info up in the calendar. The mayor is expected to be present. It will be at the Hokkien Association at 2.00pm. For more info, please contact the Organizing Chairperson, Mr Scott Wong at 013-8367312 (charngyeon@yahoo.com).

Hi Anthony, welcome to Miri.

Bring a facemask when you come. Or an oxygen tank or two. Or three. We're experience some very bad haze now (9.3.2010) due to open burning.

Let to raise a comment on AOWA product, that they are cheaters and should ask public to avoid buying it... how can we warn mirian to avoid buying something more expensive than what the price cost. ?? how? please help them and us all!!

Also, can we raise a column to warn others about all the other suppliers that can cause bad results and bad customer services.

please help.

update the latest of miri n the shopping picture.....Coz,i miss miri v much

all the services in miri need improving. Restaurant, shopping mall, cafe or anykind of service providing sector please urged to change ur service, if u still wanna keep ur charges same wit the big city do the same service that they privide. I'm also a mirian and i felt quite ashamed with it,

anyone know any place in Miri, Sarawak that gt teach how to make flower pots?

Interesting reading about the tolerance and acceptance concept, but what about the Jewish faith? are Jews also welcome or is Borneo a dangerous place for them?
Private answer is OK, thank you.

J, the local populace will always welcome you, whatever faith you are. It's the politicians and somehow leaders that are making mountains out of molehills.

I agree with this, this Aowa at Bintang Mall Miri is scammer, and even black mail my frenz to force buying their product. I think we should report it to the police consumer association.

On 04/02 evening, I've called your housekeeping regarding my broadband modem (plus simcard) that I've left in the room (8005)& he promised to call me back. But until today no one call me & still waiting for information.

where dj sale?
