Bintulu still retain its old charms as fishermen’s town
Apr 6, 2009 General
The fast industrializing Bintulu still retain very much of its old charm as fisherman’s town. The folks at Kampung Jepak, an old fishing village built on stilt fronting the town center is still largely dependent on the sea for a living. This is despite the fact that Bintulu is home to billion dollar industry – the oil and gas.
Upon completion of the Kemana bridge built in 1982 – an access road has been built linking the sleepy fishing village to the town center. However, crossing the river via the bridge would take at least 20 minutes compare to less than 5 minutes using the “tut tut” or a small ferry.
