Since 2007, I have blogging about Bintulu on a vast range of topics and
these were incorporated in many blogs, thanks to Blogger. One of my
favourite blogs is about the old images of Bintulu compared with
recent or contemporary ones. It is a pictorial history of Bintulu that
many outside Bintulu can sit comfortably in their arm chairs and
time-travel to Bintulu during the 1950's in the safety of their homes or
zoom into modern times in relative ease clicks away. Bintulu is my
hometown and I think I will continue to document its history as it
marches in the field of time. Currently Bintulu is deep into its fourth
economic boom period and this boom has a much wider impact upon its
societal changes compared to the previous ones mainly because the
economic generators that push the town forward are scattered over its
hinterland like its massive hydro-electric dam, reforestation projects,
oil palm estates, timber exploitation and new industrial and township
satellite zones at Similajau. Below are some examples of the pictorial
history of Bintulu. For more pictorial history images please go to the
original blog as in here ...>>>

At the inset is a picture showing the Tg. Kidurong Industrial
zone which started the first boom in Bintulu starting 1979. The main
project was the liquified natural gas plant and a deep water port to
enable huge LNG ships come in to harbour to load its cargo for export to
Japan and other buyers outside Malaysia.

Second Industrial Satellite Zone at Similajau, 14 miles north of the Tg. Kidurong Industrial zone.
The new zone is serviced by new port. |
Today, with all the industrial developments combined with agricultural,
timber-based, power generation and off-shore oil and gas explorations
and productions, Bintulu is on the right path to be an industrial
showpiece of the nation.
Happy Malaysia day Sarawak !!
