Exploring This Village In Miri 🇲🇾 Kampung life on Borneo

[@elwwmatrix]

I am sooo glad they are able to interact with you in English. They're future Millionaires because the land is adjacent to rich developed business area.

[@yvesthesleeve]

I am sure

[@sharifahchannel]

Yes that sure.

[@asl3310]

Not likely, the government will not pay a dime..the most the gov't can do is relocation to swampy land

[@bandariyah8652]

What a lovely vlog in rural Malaysia and off the beaten tracks

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thanks mate

[@thefirstdivision_main26]

Jackpot sir. You in Kampung Wireless😂. It bcos that place was the first area in Swk to get telegraph communication in 1920s so people in Miri can send message to Kuching

[@yvesthesleeve]

That's interesting

[@lismariethedentist]

Your wife pushing the stroller on those rickety planks is skillful! We have many different types of kampung in Sarawak, and sadly nearer the rivers, there is waste management problems and pollution when the tide brings the plastic in.

[@yvesthesleeve]

It is like you say

[@Bluebeanzz]

Fun fact: The golf club area was originally the Miri General Hospital before they moved to the main land... There was a ferry service near the Chinese Temple to the hospital... That area is said to be haunted because some patients did not made it to the hospital due to the slow ferry and the wait...

[@yvesthesleeve]

That's interesting

[@julianalangit7916]

My Father admitted at Old Miri General Hospital with the Ferry services back in the 1980’s when I was 5 years old.He met an accident at Baram,Long Lama far too long journey for them to carry him out under the Lorry’s logs with the car engine oil dripping onto his legs and burn,the doctor almost amputate his right leg unfortunately my mother did not agree,skin draft done.We back and forth from Miri/Brunei/Limbang to visit him at the hospital along with my younger brother when he was 2 years old.I still have the memories about the Ferry ⛴ it was huge and big,I was too tiny small.Memories of I seen my father leg tied-up with a plaster.”MIRI” reminded me lots of incident in the past.Thank God today my father walking even with a limping walk,that’s alright.We monitor his wound up to today and he does his own dressing/treatment at home due to the sensitivity of the leg skin tissue injured/burn.

[@chaw294]

Wow, indeed a cool and interesting walk about in that kampung with houses built on silts. Yeah, a vast contrast indeed...such a beautiful sea front after a few kilometres away from that kampung. Anyway, thank you very much for this wonderful video. Great content. Cheers Sir !

Those day the kampung are quite packed with houses somehow in the late 90s most of them are asked to moved out for development

[@yvesthesleeve]

alright interesting

Those Mat Sallehs that you saw are most probably expatriates living in Miri and some came over from Brunei for the weekends. Mostly work in oil and gas.

It is really a distinct of way of living eventhough in same township.i guess that is life all about....

[@sharifahchannel]

Hi I'm Mirian. I never went inside the village. I just passed by but never didn't go inside . Most of the houses have been demolished and the residents have been moved. That's why most houses look abandoned and neglected .

[@yvesthesleeve]

It looks like it, but I bet that land is worth quite something.

[@chaw294]

Great of you to explore the off the beaten path. It's very interesting as l know for sure l would not be visiting such places in Miri. Good job, Sir.

[@bungaialoevera]

11:27 "Kampung Tidak Tidur" is now "Kampung Wireless". Hmmm... 12:49 "No air-conditioning" is common. We built our traditional houses in such a way that it has natural cooling. Check out the holes just below the roofing. Wooden houses are also cool because it doesn't trap heat as much as an air tight built houses. 17:45 It's odd in Malaysia though... it's not like in the Middle East. Non-Muslims aren't actually encouraged (if not not allowed) to greet using that Arabic greetings which is why they thought that you're a Muslim when you do greet them in such a way.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes I am sure

[@bungaialoevera]

@@yvesthesleeve, my guess is that that area has been slotted for resettlement from the red paint marks on a few of the house (check out the mark “LS/xx/22”). That’s ‘cos it’s a rural-urban settlement. Which is also why the inhabitants are mix (which is not traditional).

[@sektozclimax8690]

Go up until Swk Northern Region the (Limbang & Lawas) as last part. But first you need to through Brunei. 😙hehe

Well, not just now, we flew back into India, but eventually we will.

[@MardhiahJames]

You must bring your family to one of the longhouses.. You are curious to know so it's now or never to experience and be with them. Maybe check out if there is long house air bnb or in Malaysia we call it as "homestay" in one of the longhouses. If I'm not mistaken, longhouses are build with individual houses for each of the family, each house have their own bedrooms, toilets, kitchens etc, but they will have open sitting area for the people to gather and have events in front of their each houses. All these under one big and long roof. The long houses are actually are very big and spacious community space. I'm also very impressed. Please at least try to visit one of them. Cheers 🎉

[@yvesthesleeve]

I have been looking for a stay like that but it seems very difficult to find unless it is super expensive or super touristy.

The contrasts between a city/ town and villages at the fringes is a common scenarios in many less developed countries.

fun fact the river mouth is actually man made, the original river mouth is near the temple in your last video. The land around that area used to be the sea. If you go to coco cabana, the land was reclaimed from the sea.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Interesting

[@SilverfoxJB]

Coco Cabana is nice but like so many things, they built it and hardly anyone comes. It's quite sad.

[@RaazMartarz]

nice welcome to miri

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thanks so much

[@nurafiqah9130]

Usually animals that are carnivors which have sharp teeth or that are danger to human, we cant eat that and consider it as haram. So, we dont eat crocodiles unless you are in desperate situation where you cant find any halal meat or you are stranded in the forest with no where to find halal meat or fish, then you can have it with a small amount to sustain your life. Hope this help.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thanks I didn't know that actually

[@thetruth623]

Actually for Maliki Madhab(Maliki School of Thought) they can eat crocodiles meat.Eating crocodile meat is a controversial issue. Scholars have differed on the ruling for eating crocodile meat. Those who say it’s permissible look at it as a creature of the sea. What they mean by a creature of the sea is that any creature that lives in water, whether it’s an ocean, sea, river or lake.Those who look at it being an amphibious animal that has teeth, they consider these teeth to be type of the canines that are prohibited.

[@nurafiqah9130]

@thetruth623 yes there are different madhab..mine one follows madhab Sya fie since Malaysia mostly follow that. Thanks for the info about Maliki madhab.

[@SilverfoxJB]

1:29 shocking amount of rubbish, why don't they clear it up? 19:29 I agree we should all be allowed to travel freely, no borders!

[@yvesthesleeve]

There are many things that are hard to understand as to why some people do certain things, I guess this is just not part of their values. It is part of ours and we think we are the ones doing it right, funny like it is...

[@SilverfoxJB]

@@yvesthesleeve Well, yes but we also know that rubbish attracts vermin, which attracts disease or even worse large predators. Each to their own and I'm certainly not the tidiest person.

[@PakTurut-rj6we]

Visit the coastal fishing villages of the Bajau Laut in Sabah who are undocumented migrants from the Philippines. Both Sarawak and Sabah have mainly undocumented Indonesians speaking in Indonesian accent from Kalimantan. Cats were not the prophet's favorite pets as the prophet did care for the well-being of all animals.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thanks, I am looking into these fishing villages... yes, the prophet actually did like cats a lot, it is mentioned numerous times. Are cats loved in Islam? Unlike dogs, cats have been revered for centuries in Muslim culture. So much so, that one of Prophet Muhammad's companions was known as Abu Hurairah (Father of the Kittens) for his attachment to cats. The Prophet himself was a great cat-lover- Muezza was the name of his favourite cat....

[@lloyd61269]

A sorry state of living condition with a lot of trash. Why can't those living there clean it ? To care for the surrounding increases the quality of life.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Well, not sure...

[@AhmadZakiVision]

Perhaps the local government, chief residents and members of the settlement committee there are not sensitive to the environmental conditions.

[@melisawill5954]

It's the mindset and normality of those who live there which is called squatters. Nothing much the government can do to educate and transform the residents habits and mindset and that is why it become a prolonged struggle by the government to do the best they can to make changes...sorry that you have to witness the mess but the most importantly, the people are humble, kind and genuine. You see, none of them hostile even if you bump into them while they just woke up and seep their coffee while watching towards the river...

[@fittrege2778]

They build their houses by the river to get easy access to the river. Theyre fishermen, thats where they park their boats. And the trash comes from upstream with the high and low tides of the river itself. Theres no way they can control the floating trash.

[@SilverfoxJB]

@@fittrege2778 There is always a way, this obviously leads to lots of rats which will lead to disease and also encourage snakes, monitor lizards and crocodiles
