Soon Bintulu will celebrate its 50 years of independence within Malaysia which will be on the 16th of September 2013.  I am thinking of seriously going back to blogging about Bintulu in blogger.  So today I'm showing a picture of the Bintulu town which has expanded towards the north since it started to join in the ranks of the newly developed towns of Sarawak starting in late 1970's with the coming of the first economic boom to this once sleepy town and fishing village.  Bintulu is now in its fourth economic boom period.
