Anyway, welcome to my city Miri, the oil and gas capital of Malaysia. People found oil in Miri hundreds of years ago and the first oil rig is built 112 years ago on Canada Hills. Since then, a lot of Mirians are working in the oil and gas industry throughout Malaysia in several companies. Some of the companies are even opening their HQ or at least their office in Miri! As time goes by, industries sprung out like mushrooms. You should see how Bruneians shop in Miri- they shop like there's no tomorrow. Our airport is the busiest domestic airport in Malaysia. Now, wealthy people in Miri are usually in oil and gas, palm oil or in timber industries. Almost very home in Miri has a car each. That actually explains why Miri is the 4th most expensive city in Malaysia 😂
@AlexSDU2 жыл бұрын
Another reason why almost every home has car(s) is because of our public transport. Or the lack of it, to be precise. Take Kuching for example. There used to be several bus companies operating within Kuching city alone. Nearing 2000, their(the bus companies) number started to dwindling. Now. if you missed a bus, it mean a long waiting game for you for another one to come.

@@blizzard9954 Unfortunately that's true - not helped by the fact that for a West Malaysian to enter East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) the procedure, immigration wise, is just like entering another country. A West Malaysian needs an international passport to enter Sabah or Sarawak and can stay there for up to 90 days. Instead of passport, IC can also be used but more inconvenient since you will be issued a 90-day visa slip by Sabah/Sarawak immigration which you shouldn't lose. Also a West Malaysian can't work in East Malaysia without work permit. An East Malaysian, on the other hand, can enter and work in West Malaysia with no issue.
