Adenan: Bintulu needs modern medical facilities

BINTULU: The expansion of Columbia Asia Hospital here is timely as Bintulu has grown from a village of barely 5,000 people to an industrial town with over a quarter million people.

Chief Minister Tan Sri Datuk Amar Adenan Satem said the Bintulu of today thus required modern medical facilities and healthcare services.

“With modern facilities, various diseases that cannot be detected in the past with just traditional treatment can now be cured,” he said at the ground-breaking ceremony of Columbia Asia Hospital Bintulu expansion project and the development of Columbia Commercial Centre at Jalan Tan Sri Ikhwan in Tanjung Kidurong yesterday.

Adenan said mainly because of the oil and gas industry, Bintulu had developed to what it is today, and would continue to grow and prosper.

“The development of Samalaju will boost Bintulu as an industrialised city. A private hospital is required. It is a must-have criterion for a developing town like Bintulu.

Bintulu is in Sarawak, which is owned by Taib and family.

To me, the development of Bintulu is not a great achievement, but is just "a donation for barisan votes".

If a town in kelantan, penang or selangor maju, only then will it be a great achievement.

Nice photos

time to expand my business in Bintulu

how come sea water turn into macam berak water.

vera dalam kari dupe is from there

With 250k can easily take over Sibu become 3rd largest city in sarawak already. Sibu is slowly regressing to old folks town.

Bandarnye kecik je.. river pollution level cannot brain.

Samalaju not far from Bintulu somemore, becoming an industrial town and quite possibly, key city of SCORE.

Bintulu girls very pretty.

Wendyyyyyyy

Bintulu population trend

http://www.theborneopost.com/2011/11/07/bi...ic-growth-soon/

1970's = 14,000
2000 = 167,000
2010 = 214,214

boring la nothing to do here...anyone in /k from bintulu?

Melayu Cina India = 14,214
Others = 200,000

I am native from Bintulu. Melanau Vaie

got to be aware the growth of bintulu is due to MLNG growth.. its seasonal. Once the train 9 is done, off they go..

So, Miri is mere boomtown or it will have long term growth (if O&G gone)?

It going to have a naval based, afb and possibly the first marines based.
It would further contribute to population growth.

If Miri...

- Education (Curtin)
- Tourism
- Gateway to northern Sarawak (Lawas, Bario, Bakelalan etc.)
