Bintulu My Second Home?

• This friday was my 5th friday in Bintulu. The work scheduled for only 16 days but it dragged to a month due to generator's work delay. HUHUHU... For married guy friday night is very important but for me its notthing. Rumors about this friday night can heard almost everydays during standby period. Mr Lee, my foreman knows almost every inch of streets and trails in this bintulu district. He act like walking wikipedia from culture, history to geographical and we talk bout conquering Sarawak before our last project in Bintulu. Recently he go to Kapit (http://turbinemanlog.blogspot.com) and planning to go to Mulu next time.

Mr Lee in action, we have to snap candid due to camera shy

• Bintulu Division is one of the eleven administrative divisions of Sarawak, east Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. It is approximately 624 km away from Kuching and about 215 km from either Sibu or 205 km from Miri. Bintulu is known as a place of 'making a money' or 'lubuk duit and it is not a main tourist destination in Sarawak.

• Ethnically, the population was Iban, Chinese, Malay, Melanau, Kayan, Kenyah and Punan. There is a large foreign worker population due to the strength of the petroleum industry. ( including me! )

• Tanjung Kidurong (10-20km from Bintulu town). Tanjung Kidurong is an industrial zone which consists of Petronas Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Complex, currently the world’s largest liquefied natural gas production facility on a single site, Shell facilities of SMDS (Shell Middle Distillate Synthesis), BCOT (Bintulu Crude Oil Terminal), Bintulu Port, ABF (Asean Bintulu Fertilizer), Sarawak Fertilizer and various shipping and hardware factories.
  

• Bintulu has around 27% of Sarawak’s tropical rainforest, and the timber industry remains a strong component of the Division economy.

• Agriculture is relatively close to oil palm as it shows by a huge plantation along coastal road to Miri that 200km from Bintulu.
