An evening In Bintawa

Bintawa atau disebut dalam sebutan masyarakat setempat Bintawak..Terbahagi kepada dua iatu Bintawa Cina dan Bintawa Melayu.Bintawa Melayu ialah dimana terletaknya Kampung Bintawak Hulu,Bintawak Tengah dan Bintawak Hilir.Bahkan di sebelah hujungnya lagi dikatakan terdapat kampung Bintawak Batu.

Sebahagian penduduk di kampung Bintawa Tengah telah dipindahkan sekitar beberapa tahun dahulu ke penempatan lain untuk memberi laluan kepada pembinaan Jambatan Tun Salahuddin iaitu Jambatan kedua yang merentangi Sungai Sarawak.Penempatan di sini pada mulanya dikenali sebagi Kampung Matu,oleh kerana di sekitar kawasan ini penduduk asalnya banyak yang berasal dari kawasan Matu Daro di bahagian tengah Sarawak.Nama kawasan ini dikenali juga sebagai Tanjung Bintawak.Bintawak adalah sejenis buah seperti buah terap.Mungkin disebabkan nama Tanjung Bintawak inilah,kawasan ini dinamakan sebagai Bintawa.

Terdapat beberapa kampung lain yang ada di sepanjang sungai Sarawak berhampiran Kampung Bintawa iaitu  Kampung Gersik,kampung Boyan,Kampung Sourabaya Hulu,Kampung Sourabaya Hilir,Kampung Panglima Seman,Lampung Panglima Seman lama (kampung Buah) ,Kampung Semarang,Kampung Pulo Hulu dan Kampung Pulo Hilir.

Manakala Bintawa Cina pula terletak di seberang sungai dimana terletaknya perumahan yang majoriti didiami oleh keturunan Cina dan dahulunya sebahagian di kawasan ini didiami oleh masyarakat Cina berketrunan Heng Hwa yang dikenali juga sebagai "cina kotak" oleh masyarakat tempatan.Ini kerana pekerjaan mereka adalah sebagai nelayan dan jika turun ke laut atau tinggal di kapal sementara bersedia untuk ke laut mereka akan tinggal dan tidur di dalam kapal mereka yang seperti kotak.Berhampiran kawasan perumahan ini pula terletak zon perindustruian Bintawak di mana kawasan ini menempatkan kilang -kilang yang kebanyakkannya berasaskan kayu dan papan lapis.Terdapat juga perusahaan lain seperti Baja (Gold Coin) dan berkaitan pengimpalan dan berasaskan pembinaan.

SIDMA College to build new campus at MetroCity

SIGNING CEREMONY: (From left) SIDMA College Sarawak chief executive pfficer Marzuki Umi, chief financial officer Hanizah Mohidin, Kambrie, UNITAR International University vice chancellor Prof Dr Abdul Razak Habib, Chong, UITM lecturer Prof Madya Dr Fatimah Bujang and CKH Realty Group executive director David Chong during the signing ceremony.

KUCHING: SIDMA College Sarawak (SIDMA College) has signed a sales and purchase agreement with Chong Kia Hoi Realty Sdn Bhd (CKH Realty) for a piece of land situated at MetroCity in Matang.

“As the biggest Unitar Regional Centre for Unitar International University, this signing ceremony marks another important step in our progress,” highlighted Prof Dr Morni bin Kambrie, chairman of SIDMA College Sarawak during the signing ceremony between the two groupd.

This land will be used for the construction of a new campus for SIDMA College, to accommodate the 1,300 plus students at the current Kuching campus located at Jalan Haji Taha.

The new campus will be a six-storey building consisting of three blocks, which should be able to accommodate a total of 4,000 plus students over time.

There will be an examination hall on campus which will also be converted into a source of revenue for the college, whereby it can be rented out on Saturdays or Sundays for events or functions such as weddings.

Kambrie also reiterated that MetroCity is a well-planned satellite town by itself as there is a mosque, church, apartments, condominium and more than sufficient housing for SIDMA College’s students.

Overall, he foresees better intakes once the new campus is opened as they will be able to accommodate more students.

Similarly, the chairman and managing director of CKH Realty, Chong Kia Hoi noted that setting up a university campus on its development is a milestone event for the company.

“Today, I’m so pleased that our vision to promote the intellectual development of the society has been achieved by setting up a university inside our development,” Chong said.

He added that next to the campus there will be a four-storey urban bus transit terminal built, while in other areas of the development, there will also be a six-storey private hospital, a hypermarket, a petrol station (Petronas), a 24-hours KFC drive-through restaurant, a Mcdonalds fast food restaurant and others.

Miri Riverbank View From Moving Ship

 View of Kampung Wireless with background of Imperiall Hotel and new Permaisuri Mall.Kampung Wireless is the last settlement at Miri River,few years back there was Kampung Dagang which has been resettled to other place.The reason for the resettlement is for development where Kampung Dagang area will be replaced with Waterfront.Most Mirians assume that the waterfront will be look like Kuching Waterfront..

Time pass by and there is no such things as Waterfront but only shophouses and commercial buildings..

 View of Miri chinese cemetery at Sungai Baong,near to the Chinese cemetery is Moslem Cemetery and there's also Kampung nearby which is Kampung Sungai Baong.During90's and before,the kampung size is big but then become half size because  Government make a new road (currently Bulan Sabit Road near Indoor Stadium)hence,half of the population there resettle to other place,the current Kampung also will be resettled in near future.

Pembahagian suku-suku dayak di Borneo

Peta menunjukkan pembahagian Suku-suku bangsa,dan suku kaum di tanah Kalimantan (Indonesia,Malaysia dan Brunei ).Satu pulau yang terbahagi kepada tiga negara namun secara sejarah dan ikatan kekeluargaan mempunyai hubungan yang erat dan sejarah yang panjang. Sejarah yang bukan hanya bermula dari penubuhan Negara Indonesia dan negara Malaysia,tetapi lebih jauh dan panjang daripada itu.British dan Belanda hanya memecah belahkan dan memperkenalkan sempadan tanah yang sebelum ini bebas untuk anak tanah Kalimantan ini bergerak dari selatan ke utara,dari timur ke barat.British dan belanda jugalah yang memperkenalkan nasionalisme negara masing masing hingga anak Kalimantan berdiri teguh dengan prinsip nasionalisme kebangsaan masing masing hinggakan lupa saudara dan jiran di bersebelahan.

Piasau Camp Bridge

A view of Piasau Camp Bridge at Piasau Camp ,Miri. A yesteryear photo of the bridge (above) and recent photo (new bridge ) with two lane for motorist.The old bridge now is only for bicycle or pedestrian.The old bridge was the only bridge connecting from the town side to the Piasau Camp side.Few years back there was also ferry services at the tip of Pulau Melayu Island ( south side of Piasau Camp area).The Ferry Sevice end sometimes inmiddle 90's.

The other way to come to this Piasau Camp is via Lutong which took longer time and very far compare using this bridge.I remember when using the old bridge,when came time to peak hour,morning,noon and after office hour,this area can become so jammed.It's because the old bridge only have one way in and out, and lots of car and motorcycles want to use the bridge in the same time,either from the Piasau Camp side or from the town side.

Users are not only from Piasau Camp resident but also from the villager live nearby (Kampung Pulau Melayu),and Golfers at Pulau Melayu Golf area,and also People live near to Lutong consist of Petronas workers and villagers .In recent years there's a lot development in nearby area such as new housing area and development of Marina Bay in this area,thus the new Piasau Camp Bridge is the right time where came along development in this area.

There's a traffic light on the old bridge and this traffic light work differently from other types of traffic light. It can turn green and red in split second and event its turn green back again so soon,you must wait for a while,aware for some motorist from across river will use the bridge event the  traffic light change red.

Sadly the half century Piasau camp also will be demolished to give way for a new development in this area.Hopefully the green part of this area shall be retained and give this area identity of its own.The nearby Kampung and Golf park also will be moved in near future and this will make a new landscape for this area.
