To the late Brian (my ex Supervisor in MLNG), thanks for the video and your time with us in MLNG. We missed you. To Mike Berry, sorry to hear about your late father. May he RIP
thanks for a great opportunity to remember Bintulu. I was there 51 years ago - in 1969, as a NZ volunteer teacher at the Bintulu Government Secondary School. I returned for a visit in 1973 and again in 2005, and was delighted to join some of the BGSS students who visited NZ in 2019. I had booked to visit in July 2020 but have had to cancel my visit - to Kuching, Bintulu and Miri - because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Maybe it will happen!! Meantime - thank you for those memories. The town is greatly changed, but I have photos of the kampong that look very much like in the video. Peter Glensor
Hi Mike. Thanks for this video. I am son of Bintulu. I believe Brian has added great value to history of Bintulu by filming this video. Can you tell me more about Brian and would be great if you could give me your email addresd
I was born in Bintulu in 1989 in a vaie family, native to the town. Thank you so much for the video; it means a lot to me, and I believe, to the vaie community as well.
Brian E Berry had taken all the necessary and needful to get this documentary about Bintulu in 1986, which was 30 years ago. I was serving in the Govt service by then and in the early 80's there were a few flare of incident between the .local workers and the Koreans and involved few fatalities as well on both side. That was during the early development of Bintulu by then. Tqvm for Brian E. Berry hard work and may he RIP, Amen.
This is very nostalgia..the pianist, Uncle Jaafar used to rent at my grandfather, Mr. Mahmuddin house at Kampung Sebiew in Bintulu.I wonder if Uncle Jaafar is still alive. I recalled her daughter Ana and we used to play together..Thank you so much for uploading this..

I was a frequent traveller to Bintulu, as compared those days in the 70s toward 80s, Bintulu has flourished into a very well developed town with the main source of income from engineering, oil and gas and light industrial zone in Samalaju which set Bintulu into an Industrial town today. The town is clean and neat though with not so good air quality . It provides a lot of job opportunities and the salary is much higher than other towns in Sarawak coupe with its raising cost of living . Today Sibu is falling behind Bintulu and looking forward Bintulu be awarded the city status in the next 5 years .
Now 2020 Bintulu has the tallest building in Sarawak at Paragon Centre called THE PEAK standing mightly at where was once the edge of old Bintulu airport
