The Largest Inland Lake in S1BU.

S1bu Lake Garden is largest project covering an areas of 130 acres and located next to the Permai New Township (opposite to Sibu General Hospital). The project covers public Parks & Garden and the largest inland lake or S1bu Lake take up about 11 acres of the whole areas of the Park. This is the joint project of Sibu Municipal Council and "Jabatan Lanskap Negara" (the Federal Landscape Department, Kuala Lumpur). Occasionally, various activities like Family Day outing, remote control toy boat competition were held at this areas.

Recently, the extension of the third phase of the S1bu Lake Garden had completed with a very beautiful Cultural Food Pavilion or Court accompanied by a "Melanau" hat style structure pavilion (with semi-glass roofing) with multi-purpose Stage on the ground floor and upper floor is watching tower/platform and water pontoon for water activities. This Food Court can accommodate a few hundred people at any one time. It's going to be a hit with the sibu people and another landmark for S1BU.

The Biggest " Vessel" or "Boat" in S1BU.

It had been a year already since I last wrote on the "Zhongyuan Jie/ Yu Lan Hui " or the Chinese All Souls' Day, Time really wait for nobody. It's coming to the festival again. What's the happening this time in S1BU?



One very huge Vessel or boat was built in front of one Chinese Temple ( "Par Wan Kong") along Jalan Deshon, Sibu. It's really huge with the length spanning about 72 feet. It 's the vessel or boat built for the ritual in the celebration of "Yu Lan Hui" which will be used to transport of all the homeless "Ghost"to neverland or whatever?? . The boat supposed to be made of paper but this time , the temple organiser are using plywood to construct it. This vessel/boat will be burned on the actual day of the celebration i.e on 24th August 2010 or the Chinese calender 15th of the 7th month. Guess, it must be a pretty " hot" sight during the burning. According to the organisers, the construction of this boat was also to rise fund for the construction of the Temple which they are short of 500K. They said anyone can buy a share of the Boat costing about RM 10.00/share. Anytakers?


I think it's the biggest Vessel or Boat, ever built in S1BU for the Rituals. The biggest in Sarawak . A S1BU Boleh!!
