Miri shopping

Miri is a city in northern Sarawak, Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. It is the second largest city in Sarawak, with a population of about 300,000.

The region is the birthplace of Malaysia's petroleum industry, which remains the major industry of the city. The first oil well (the Grand Old Lady) was drilled by Shell in 1910, and is now a state monument and one of Miri's tourist attractions.

The city's other major industries include processed timber, oil palm production and tourism. Miri has lately become known for its exotic environment. But it’s the shopping malls and the alcohol that attracts the Brunei population.

BINTANG MEGAMALL is a 10-acre plot Mall strategically located in the heart of Miri Central Business District. A prominent and strategic location that is easily accessible from all parts of Miri Metropolis through a combination of excellent road links and a comprehensive array of public transport facilities. Everything on your list can be bought here.

On the other hand, E-mart is a roaring success in Miri with big crowds especially during weekends. Within the E-mart complex, there are lots of stores selling all sorts of things ranging from magazines, mobile-phones, VCDs, DVDs, gold and silver jewelry, clothes, shoes, bags, etc. This is a no-frills shopping center caring to the budget-conscious consumers. But the rental here is not cheap….. With the high traffic flow, I guess the rental is maybe justified. And the center has the biggest electric fan in Borneo.
