Mirians, are you ready?

Could A&W Malaysia finally be returning to Sarawak, with Miri potentially being its next destination?

A recent job listing has caught the attention of Mirians. The position is Assistant Restaurant Manager – A&W Miri, Sarawak, posted by ASW Malaysia Sdn Bhd. The job location is listed as Miri, with a salary of RM2,600–RM2,900 per month for a permanent, full-time position.

This has sparked speculation that:

Could A&W be preparing to open a new outlet in Miri?

If the opening is confirmed, Mirians could soon enjoy some of A&W’s most iconic favourites, including:

A&W Burgers
Ice-Cream Root Beer Float
Curly Fries
Fried Chicken
Coney Dogs
And, of course, Rooty.

A&W Malaysia has been expanding its presence in different parts of the country, and the fact that this latest job listing specifically mentions Miri has certainly caught the attention of local residents.

However, at this point, the job listing is the main clue. A&W has yet to officially announce the outlet location or opening date, so nothing has been confirmed yet.

So, if A&W really is coming to Miri:

Where do you think they should open?

Senadin? Permyjaya? Pujut? Pelita? Boulevard? Or Marina?

Which location do you think would be the best spot for A&W Miri?

Did you know? Sarawak is planning to build a brand-new New Kuching International Airport (NKIA) at Tanjung Embang, a transformative project that aims to position the state as a leading regional aviation hub while driving long-term economic growth.

More than just an airport, NKIA forms part of an integrated low-carbon hub master plan that also includes a deep-sea port, logistics facilities, and green industries, creating a modern aerotropolis designed for the future.

⸻

Project Overview

* Project Name: New Kuching International Airport (NKIA)
* Proposed Location: Tanjung Embang, Sarawak
* Recommended Site: Selected following a feasibility study conducted by Netherlands Airport Consultants (NACO)
* Development Vision: Regional aviation hub and low-carbon aerotropolis
* Current Status: Sarawak’s Ministry of Transport has submitted the development proposal to the Federal Ministry of Transport for approval.
* Primary Objectives:
* Increase passenger and cargo capacity
* Improve domestic and international connectivity
* Support sustainable economic growth
* Strengthen Sarawak’s position in regional aviation

⸻

A New Low-Carbon Aerotropolis

NKIA is envisioned as much more than an airport. It will serve as the centrepiece of a large-scale integrated development that combines transportation, logistics, trade, and sustainable industries.

The master plan includes:

* A new international airport
* A deep-sea port
* Modern logistics and cargo facilities
* Green industrial parks
* Commercial and business developments
* Sustainable, low-carbon infrastructure

Together, these components are expected to create a highly connected ecosystem for aviation, maritime trade, logistics, and industry.

⸻

Why Tanjung Embang?

Following an extensive feasibility study by Netherlands Airport Consultants (NACO), Tanjung Embang was identified as the preferred location due to several strategic advantages:

* Sufficient land for long-term expansion
* Strategic location for future aviation growth
* Potential integration with a deep-sea port
* Strong connectivity for logistics and industrial development
* Alignment with Sarawak’s long-term urban and economic planning

⸻

Key Development Components

1. New International Airport

* Modern passenger terminal
* Expanded aircraft capacity
* Improved operational efficiency
* Designed to accommodate future passenger and cargo growth

2. Deep-Sea Port

* Enhanced maritime connectivity
* Greater international trade capacity
* Integration with airport cargo operations
* Improved supply chain efficiency

3. Logistics Hub

* Advanced warehousing and distribution facilities
* Air-sea cargo connectivity
* Support for regional and international logistics
* Attraction of global logistics operators

4. Green Industrial Zone

The surrounding area is planned to accommodate:

* Green manufacturing
* Clean energy industries
* High-value technology investments
* Sustainable industrial developments
* Low-carbon economic activities

⸻

Decentralised Development Model

According to Sarawak’s Minister for Transport, Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin, the state views the decentralised approach to NKIA as a more collaborative development model that allows greater state participation in planning and implementation.

The approach is intended to ensure the project aligns with Sarawak’s long-term aviation strategy while supporting broader economic development and regional connectivity.

⸻

Strategic Significance

The NKIA project is expected to:

* Position Sarawak as a regional aviation hub
* Expand international passenger and cargo traffic
* Improve connectivity across ASEAN and beyond
* Strengthen logistics and supply chain capabilities
* Attract domestic and foreign investment
* Support tourism and business travel
* Accelerate the development of green industries
* Enhance Sarawak’s long-term economic competitiveness

⸻

Looking Ahead

The New Kuching International Airport represents one of Sarawak’s most ambitious infrastructure projects to date.

By integrating an international airport with a deep-sea port, logistics facilities, and sustainable industrial development, NKIA has the potential to reshape the state’s transportation network and economic landscape for decades to come.

If approved and successfully implemented, Tanjung Embang could become one of Southeast Asia’s newest low-carbon aviation and logistics hubs, supporting Sarawak’s vision of becoming a globally connected, sustainable economy.

Did you know? A major new agricultural development is taking shape in Tukau, Miri.

Ning Planters Sdn. Bhd. is developing a large-scale pineapple industrial park and processing factory that is set to become the largest pineapple processing facility in Malaysia.

More than just a processing plant, the project aims to establish a complete pineapple value chain—from cultivation and processing to research, product development, and marketing. It could also become one of Miri’s newest agrotourism attractions in the future.

⸻

Ning Planters Pineapple Processing Factory – Project Highlights

Project Overview

* Location: Tukau, Miri, Sarawak
* Developer: Ning Planters Sdn. Bhd.
* Factory Size: Approximately 97,650 square feet
* Investment: Around RM70 million
* Expected Operations: End of 2026
* Processing Capacity: Approximately 11 tonnes of pineapples per hour
* Positioning: Malaysia’s largest pineapple processing factory

Future Products

* Pineapple juice
* Canned pineapples
* Fresh pineapple products
* Other value-added pineapple products

⸻

Miri to Become Northern Sarawak’s Pineapple Industry Hub

The Sarawak Government is actively developing a complete pineapple supply chain by establishing three major processing hubs across the state.

Northern Sarawak – Miri

The Ning Planters processing factory in Tukau will serve as the northern hub, focusing on the state’s own pineapple variety:

Sarawak Gold 1 (SG1)

Central Sarawak – Mukah

A future processing facility is planned to support pineapple varieties best suited to the local environment.

Southern Sarawak – Kuching

Another processing centre is planned, focusing on commercially established varieties such as MD2 and N36.

Together, these three hubs will create an integrated pineapple industry that supports Sarawak’s high-value agricultural development.

⸻

Sarawak Gold 1 (SG1) – Building a Homegrown Agricultural Brand

Northern Sarawak will focus on promoting Sarawak Gold 1 (SG1), a locally developed pineapple variety with Sarawak-owned intellectual property.

Key Advantages

* Well adapted to Sarawak’s climate and growing conditions
* Strengthens the competitiveness of the local pineapple industry
* Creates higher income opportunities for smallholders
* Supports rural economic development
* Builds a unique Sarawak agricultural brand

The Sarawak Government also plans to expand pineapple cultivation to around 20,000 hectares across the state through a contract farming model, encouraging more farmers to participate in the industry.

⸻

From Farm to Factory – Building a Complete Value Chain

The pineapple industry is expected to evolve beyond cultivation by integrating:

* Pineapple farming
* Processing and manufacturing
* Variety research and development
* Farmer training
* Product packaging
* Branding and marketing

The government also plans to modernise the sector through agricultural technologies such as:

* Smart irrigation systems
* Improved drainage infrastructure
* Advanced farming techniques
* Increased production efficiency

These initiatives aim to transform traditional farming into a modern, high-value agricultural industry.

⸻

A Future Agrotourism Destination for Miri?

Imagine visiting Tukau in the future:

Visitors could stroll through vast pineapple plantations, learn about the cultivation of Sarawak Gold 1 pineapples, and tour the processing factory to see how fresh fruit is transformed into juices, canned products, and other pineapple-based foods.

The area also has the potential to develop into:

* A pineapple-themed experience park
* An agricultural education centre
* A family-friendly tourism destination
* A showcase for Sarawak’s local agricultural products

This could add an entirely new tourism experience to Miri.

⸻

Why This Project Matters

The Ning Planters pineapple project is expected to:

1. Establish Sarawak as a leading pineapple production hub.
2. Create new employment opportunities in agriculture and manufacturing.
3. Boost rural economic development.
4. Increase income opportunities for local farmers.
5. Strengthen Sarawak’s agricultural branding.
6. Attract further investment into the agri-food sector.
7. Stimulate development in surrounding communities.
8. Enhance Miri’s agrotourism potential.
9. Support the transformation towards high-value agriculture.
10. Build a fully integrated agricultural supply chain.

⸻

The Ning Planters pineapple processing factory in Tukau is more than just another factory.

It represents a new direction for Sarawak’s agricultural future—where a single pineapple can drive an entire ecosystem encompassing farming, processing, innovation, branding, tourism, and economic growth.

Once Malaysia’s largest pineapple processing factory begins operations, Miri could well emerge as one of the country’s newest agricultural and tourism success stories.

Do you think this will become Miri’s next must-visit attraction?

You know how many Sarawakians returning from Kuala Lumpur often buy bags of Gardenia bread at the airport before flying home?

That familiar scene of passengers carrying multiple loaves of Gardenia bread back to Sarawak may soon become a thing of the past.

Kim Teck Cheong Consolidated Berhad (KTC Berhad), together with Yayasan Sarawak, has announced a strategic partnership to establish Gardenia Bakeries (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd, with an investment of RM30 million to build Gardenia’s first manufacturing plant in Sarawak.

⸻

Gardenia Sarawak Factory — Project Highlights

Project Overview

• Investment: RM30 million
• Location: Kota Samarahan, Sarawak
• Land size: Approximately 7.56 acres
• Expected operation: 2027
• Strategic partners: KTC Berhad × Yayasan Sarawak (through Sanjung Etika Sdn Bhd)
• Estimated job creation: Around 500 new employment opportunities

⸻

What will change?

Fresher Gardenia products

Previously, most Gardenia products sold in Sarawak were transported from Peninsular Malaysia.

With a local manufacturing facility, bread can be produced closer to consumers, reducing transportation time and improving freshness.

More stable supply

The new factory is expected to strengthen Gardenia’s supply chain in Sarawak, ensuring better product availability and reducing reliance on long-distance deliveries.

Introducing “Gardenia Sarawak Edition”

The partnership also plans to introduce exclusive Gardenia products and special packaging inspired by Sarawak’s unique culture, heritage and local identity.

Supporting local industries

The factory aims to maximise the use of local raw materials where possible, creating more economic opportunities within Sarawak.

Modern food manufacturing facility

The new plant will use advanced production technology while maintaining Gardenia’s quality standards, including food safety requirements and halal certification preparation.

⸻

Economic Impact

1. Create around 500 new job opportunities for Sarawakians.
2. Strengthen Sarawak’s food manufacturing sector.
3. Create opportunities for local suppliers and businesses.
4. Improve the state’s food supply chain.
5. Encourage more investment in Kota Samarahan.
6. Keep more economic value within Sarawak.
7. Support education and talent development initiatives through Yayasan Sarawak.

⸻

Why is this a big deal?

Gardenia has long been one of Malaysia’s most popular bread brands. For many East Malaysians, buying Gardenia bread at Kuala Lumpur International Airport before flying home has become a familiar tradition.

With Sarawak’s first Gardenia factory, residents can look forward to fresher products, more reliable supply, and possibly even unique Sarawak-inspired flavours.

In the future, instead of Sarawakians bringing Gardenia back from Kuala Lumpur, visitors from Peninsular Malaysia might be bringing home the special “Gardenia Sarawak Edition” as a souvenir.

What Sarawak-inspired Gardenia flavour would you like to see? Pandan? Sarawak black pepper? Or kaya coconut?
