Sibu : The Swan City


For both whom never being to Sibu Sarawak I advise you to do so. Sibu (pronounced /ˈsiːbuː/) is an inland town, and the capital of Sibu District (229.8 square kilometers) in Sibu Division, Sarawak, east Malaysia. It is located at the confluence of the Rajang and Igan Rivers, some 60 kilometers from the ocean. The population is dominated by Chinese especially the Fuzhou as well as indigenous Melanau, Malay, and Iban. The district population (per year 2009 census) is 285,400. Sibu is the main tourist gateway to the Upper Rajang River, with its small reverie towns and its many Iban and Orang Ulu longhouses. There is no known adjective for the people from Sibu, although there have been many unofficial suggestions: Siburian, Sibuian, Sibunite, Sibu-yan - none are officially recognized. There has been a marked increase in public buildings in recent years. Sibu now boasts the largest town square in Malaysia, and the tallest building in Sarawak - the Sanyan Tower ("Wisma Sanyan" in the official Malay language), a newly refurbished waterfront, and a large number of public parks. Sibu also has university-level courses offered by Laila Taib College (Previously known as United College Sarawak), which has built a campus on the site of the old Sibu airport. Sibu Jaya, located 25 km away, is being developed as a satellite town. Sibu Airport, built during World War II, was relocated to its present site 23 kilometers from town near Sibu Jaya in 1994 (wikipedia, 2010)

Well that was a little bit information about Sibu (I don’t know how far do you want to know about it but I include it down just for our information. If you want to know more you can find it on the web or maybe in the library). So we will back to the story of the convoy. Fortunately, all the participants who join the convoy were a human. Its mean they have to rest. So for the night, everyone will have a good rest at Premier Hotel Sibu. That sound good huh…after a long hour driving and at the end of the day you have a pleasant sleep on pretty soft mattress. Wow…you feel it yourself then you will get it…All right fellow…it’s time to pay back your diligence …. Zzzzzzzz
