Mammoth RM1 billion project to help transform Miri into a resort city
Posted on February 21, 2014, Friday

MIRI: Miri is set to have a new business, recreational and leisure centre – a water theme park befitting its status as a resort city.

The proposed mammoth project will help to transform Senadin in the northern part of the city not only into a lively residential estate but also a business, recreational, leisure and educational centre.

The first of its kind and to be the largest theme park in East Malaysia, the project is the brainchild of prominent businessman Datuk Lau Siu Wai.

Sprawling over 500 acres close to Curtin University, it will exceed Sunway Lagoon in terms of size. On the drawing board are giant waterslides, water tubes, swimming and wading pools.

Chief Minister Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud is expected to perform the earth breaking ceremony of the project this Sunday.

The ceremony will be nostalgic and historic as it will be done during Taib’s last working visit to Miri as chief minister.

The proposed project will not just be a theme park but also a new resort township of sorts because it will feature two hotels, six blocks of condominium towers, a commercial centre and a mega mall boasting two million square feet of retail space.

The mammoth project will cost about RM1 billion and will be developed in three phases. Phase I is slated to kick-off after the earth breaking ceremony, and the whole project is scheduled to be completed in five years time.

An old folk healthcare centre will also be thrown in. Once completed, this project will transform Miri, particularly Senadin, into the ‘Venice of the East’, complete with lakes and water canals for canoes and small boats to ply all the way to the South China Sea.

Miri Housing Group envisioned that this place would eventually become the hub for water sports, kayaking and canoeing activities.

The construction of a water theme park in Senadin is timely and appropriate as the economy of Miri is developing fast, especially in the northern part of the city.
