The weekend was spent touring Marudi bazaar. It has been 28 years since my last visit to Marudi. Equipped with our cameras, Celcom broadband (yuppp.. the 3G service is excellent there), Digi internet (only running on GPRS) and maxis postpaid, we cruise our way upriver on the mighty Baram River. Here are some of my favourite shots.
I was flattered by the remarks by Sungai Brit folks. Ahh.. Uchu Keling brings water (rain) to the village! Hahahaa.. After 28 years I am saddened by the fact that majority of the longhouses in Marudi have yet to receive clean piped water from the government. Luckily it rain heavily late afternoon to cool down the heat and to supply us with free water.
The villagers from Rh. Chabu, Lepong Ajai, Bakong at Miri Courthouse on Monday. We were informed that a police report was lodged against the villagers for encroaching into their own land!
The case will be mention on 8th March. As I was writing this post, the villagers are still looking for a lawyer. We have given Baru Bian’s contact to their spokesman.
Miri, once again is blanketed by thick haze this morning. The haze is caused by forest fire around Miri over the past few days. Here are some shots taken this morning.
Traffic light at the t-junction to Miri Airport at 5.47 am.
Airport Road (infront of the army camp) at 6.25 am.
Traffic light infront of St. Columba’s Church at 6.40 am.
View from Puchong Flyover heading towards Bintang Megamall at 6.48 am.
Condition at Pujut Flyover at 6.56 am.
Piasau Business Park at 7.00 am.
Jalan Bulatan at 8.00 am.
The sun over Seberkas Commercial Centre. Shot taken behind car shade.
Close up of the sun. My first attempt behind the car shade. heheheheeee
We hope the authority will do something on the haze condition in Miri. The long overdue watch tower should be in place by now! It has been over two years and the reason why it is not there – JKR still working on the plan (hahahaaa.. ). Do we have capable architect? Or it is just plan simple – no fund, no budget.. wait for the next Malaysia Plan.
