It was the first day of the Chinese New Lunar year. We had a long break. A long break in Bintulu!?..well, you guys must be kidding?! Bintulu is populates with foreigner, I mean, Malaysian from different states and divisions who earn their living in this rich gas division in the middle of Sarawak. And, they will definitely take the long break flying back to their home land or adventuring somewhere else. Malaysia though has many interesting attractive tourist spots that one must visit.
To cut that long and boring intro short, I’ve decided to bring Aiman and Afiqah ‘hunting’ for the Chinese Lion dance group popularly known as ‘China Rongan’ amongst the Malay. Don’t ask me where do it get its nickname – ‘China Rongan’? it is always easy to hunt them – by its tradition drum beat – “tong tong chiang..tong chiang……tong.. tong……”, and they normally travel by 2 or 3 tons lorry with bright striking colorful ‘uniform’. After spending about 10 minutes around the Tanjung Kidurong housing area, we found one at Taman Matahari. They were performing inside someone’s garden, thus we turned off our idea to capture their acrobatic stunt and ended up landing at Millennium Park.
Now, what is the Millennium Park? It is located in the middle of used to be Bintulu Port Housing area, x-ABF housing, SESCO Housing and x-Shell MDS housing – Taman Matahari. Apart from that, it is just 5-10 minutes walking distance from SMK Kidurong, Masjid Darul Hidayah, Petronas Station, Police Station and shop houses. The other factor that has made the Park so attractive to the people in the nearby neighborhood, besides its facilities, is its location facing the South China Sea.
The park in that morning, however, was so quiet. Beautifully landscaped, it has one of the best skate park in Sarawak, basketball court, petanque courts, jogging lane and many others, which have made it so ‘noisy’ and happening in the afternoon, especially during weekends.
In collaboration with Bintulu Development Authority, the National Landscape Department built the park in two phases. The second phase was launched by the Chief Minister of Sarawak, YAB Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud on 23 January 2010.
