“It is the most beautiful city hall, not just a symbol of oil and gas, it is a statement of confidence that Miri is growing towards the future,” he said. “Next year will be 20th anniversary and should be a bigger celebration. I will make sure our Premier comes. We’ll help as much as possible to show that Miri is doing well and Sarawak is doing well.”
“The efforts put in by all that I have just mentioned, had in year 2005 achieved by then the seemingly impossible mission ― the securing of city status, of which it had been accomplished beyond many people’s expectations,” he said.“We will continue with such efforts so as to lure foreign visitors and investors so as to make Miri City a vibrant city in tourism and economy,” he said.
