Did you know that a brand-new education campus is currently under construction at SouthLake Permyjaya? This new development is the upcoming Sri Mawar School campus, supported by the Naim Foundation, covering about 23 acres of land.

Once completed, it is expected to become one of the larger integrated private school campuses in Miri, bringing together kindergarten, primary, and secondary education within a single campus.

The project is scheduled to be completed in 2026, providing improved education facilities and creating a vibrant learning environment for students and the surrounding community.

⸻

Sri Mawar School — Project Overview

• School Name: Sri Mawar School
• Established: 1986
• New Campus Location: SouthLake Permyjaya, Miri
• Total Land Area: Approximately 23 acres
• Current Status: Under construction
• Estimated Completion: 2026

⸻

Campus Development Plan

The new campus is designed as an integrated education complex, which will include:

• Kindergarten
• Primary School

The overall vision is not just to build a school, but to create a comprehensive learning environment that supports students’ academic and personal growth.

⸻

Naim Foundation’s Education Mission

Naim Foundation, established in 2004, focuses on initiatives in education, community development, and sustainability.

Education has always been one of its core priorities:

• Academic Excellence Awards (launched in 2016)
Recognizing top-performing students across Sarawak and encouraging a culture of achievement and resilience.

• Sri Mawar School Expansion
Supporting the growth of the school with modern facilities and a larger campus.

• RM1 million Scholarship Fund
A dedicated fund to support deserving students from underprivileged families, ensuring more students have access to quality education.

⸻

Significance for Miri

The development of this new campus could bring several benefits to the city:
1. Strengthening education resources in the Permyjaya / Tudan area
2. Attracting more families to live in the northern part of Miri
3. Providing accommodation and learning opportunities for rural students
4. Supporting the growth of the SouthLake community
5. Expanding private education options in Miri

⸻

SouthLake Permyjaya

With ongoing residential, commercial, and community developments, SouthLake Permyjaya is gradually emerging as a growing township in Miri.

The new Sri Mawar School campus could potentially become an important part of the education landscape in the Permyjaya area.

Do you think Miri needs more large private schools like this?
Could this development attract more families to move into the Permy / Tudan area in the future?

Did you know that as Miri continues to grow as a city, plans are underway to develop a centralized administrative complex that will house multiple government agencies under one roof?

The project, known as the Miri Integrated Administration Centre (Pusat Pentadbiran Bersepadu Bahagian Miri), is set to become the city’s first major government administrative hub. In the future, many government departments are expected to be relocated to this single location, making it more convenient for the public to handle official matters.

The project is expected to be implemented under the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK-13), with the aim of creating a modern government complex that integrates administrative offices, public services, and environmentally friendly building concepts.

⸻

Miri Integrated Administration Centre — Key Highlights

Project Overview

• Project name: Miri Integrated Administration Centre (Pusat Pentadbiran Bersepadu Bahagian Miri)
• Development type: Government integrated administration complex
• Location: Tanjung coastal area, Miri
• Total development area: Approximately 12 hectares
• Estimated government agencies: Around 20 departments
• Parking capacity: About 1,500 parking spaces (surface parking and multi-storey car park)
• Development phase: 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK-13)
• Expected construction start: 2027
• Target completion: Around 2031, in phases

⸻

Core Planning Features

1. One-Stop Government Service Centre

Around 20 government agencies are expected to operate within the complex, including:

• National Registration Department (JPN)
• Various administrative and public service departments

Currently, many government offices in Miri are scattered across different locations, with some operating from rented premises. Once the integrated centre is completed, it will significantly improve coordination between departments and allow the public to handle multiple government matters in one place.

⸻

2. Integrated Office and Parking Facilities

The project will adopt a high-rise integrated complex design, which includes:

• Government administrative office towers
• Multi-storey parking facilities
• Surface parking areas
• Supporting administrative infrastructure

The total parking capacity is expected to reach around 1,500 parking spaces, catering to both civil servants and visitors.

⸻

Green and Energy-Efficient Building Concept

The complex will incorporate modern sustainability features, including:

• Integration of solar energy systems
• Exploration of natural gas as part of the energy supply
• Energy-efficient and environmentally friendly building design
• Lower long-term operational costs

This project could become a model for modern government infrastructure in Miri.

⸻

Government Housing Relocation

Originally, government staff housing was planned behind the administrative centre. However, geological and environmental assessments found that the land was located on a slope, making it unsuitable for development.

As a result, authorities have decided to relocate the housing project to the Jalan Bulan Sabit area to ensure long-term structural safety and stability.

⸻

Strategic Location: Tanjung Coastal Area

The project will be located in the Tanjung coastal area, a scenic part of Miri. The overall development plan includes:

• Front area: Integrated government administrative complex
• Rear area: Government staff housing (relocated to a different site)

This development is expected to form a new administrative core for Miri.

⸻

Significance for Miri’s Urban Development

Although Miri has already achieved city status, it still does not have a centralized administrative complex. This project is therefore considered an important step for the city’s future development.

Key benefits include:
1. Improving coordination among government departments
2. Providing more convenient public services for residents
3. Reducing inconvenience caused by scattered government offices
4. Creating a modern government working environment
5. Supporting development in the Tanjung area
6. Establishing a dedicated administrative hub for the city
7. Streamlining public service processes
8. Enhancing Miri’s urban infrastructure and city image

⸻

Looking Ahead

As Miri continues to expand, the need for a more efficient administrative system becomes increasingly important. If successfully implemented, the Miri Integrated Administration Centre could become the central hub for government operations in the city for decades to come.

From scattered offices to a centralized system, this project represents another step toward a more modern and efficient city administration.

Do you think the new Miri Integrated Administration Centre will make government services more convenient for the public in the future?

Recently, global oil prices have surged again.
Brent crude oil has already exceeded USD100 per barrel, and at one point even approached USD115.

The Malaysian government has stated that the current RON95 subsidised price of RM1.99 per litre can likely be maintained for about two more months under current conditions.

This statement immediately raised concerns among many people:
Will RON95 increase soon?

However, the situation is actually more complex.

⸻

Why higher oil prices are not entirely bad for Malaysia

Many people may not realise that Malaysia is actually a net energy exporter.

In simple terms:

• Malaysia imports petrol
• But at the same time, the country exports large amounts of crude oil and natural gas

Much of the revenue from these resources comes from the national oil company:

PETRONAS (Petroliam Nasional Berhad)

When global oil prices rise:

• PETRONAS earns more revenue
• The government receives higher dividends from PETRONAS

So rising oil prices can have both positive and negative effects for Malaysia.

⸻

Why the government still says the subsidy may last only 2 months

Many analysts believe there could be two key reasons behind this.

1. Oil revenue distribution is changing

For decades, oil-producing states only received 5% oil royalty.

However, in recent years,
the Sarawak government has negotiated and used legal avenues to obtain greater control and revenue from oil and gas resources.

Overall estimates suggest that Sarawak may now receive around 30% of certain energy-related revenues.

This means:

In the past, when oil prices increased,
the federal government received the largest share of the gains.

Now, when oil prices rise,
a larger portion of the revenue flows to producing states.

As a result, the federal government may have less fiscal space to fund nationwide fuel subsidies.

⸻

2. The government has long planned to reduce fuel subsidies

Fuel subsidies have always been one of the largest expenditures in Malaysia’s national budget.

Every year, the government spends billions of ringgit to keep RON95 prices low.

Many economists have long argued that:

• The subsidy system is not sustainable long term
• It will eventually need to be restructured
• The challenge has always been the political timing

If global oil prices remain high,
and geopolitical tensions continue,

the government may frame any adjustment as a response to global conditions rather than a domestic policy change.

⸻

Why oil prices are rising again

Several global factors are pushing oil prices higher:

• Rising tensions in the Middle East
• Potential disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes
• Higher risks in global energy transportation
• Increased logistics and shipping costs

These factors directly affect global oil supply and pricing.

⸻

What could happen next

There are several possible scenarios in the coming months.

Scenario 1: Oil prices fall

If geopolitical tensions ease,
the RON95 price of RM1.99 may continue to be maintained.

Scenario 2: Oil prices remain above USD100

The government may:

• Reduce subsidies
• Adjust retail fuel prices
• Introduce targeted subsidies

This would mean subsidies are given mainly to lower-income households (B40) and possibly parts of the M40 group.

⸻

The bigger question

The real question is:

How long can Malaysia maintain universal fuel subsidies?

For decades, Malaysia has enjoyed some of the cheapest petrol prices in Southeast Asia.

But with rising fiscal pressures, many analysts believe that
the era of universal petrol subsidies may eventually come to an end.

What do you think?

Should RON95 remain at RM1.99 with universal subsidies,
or should subsidies be targeted only at lower-income groups?

The post Miri Roasted Pork Special for CNY Dinner first appeared on Miri City Sharing.

Date: 13 February 2026 (Friday) – 16 February 2026 (Monday)
A 4-day event inviting everyone to step into the most heartfelt, old-street style New Year experience.

⸻

Reliving the “CNY Feeling” of the 1980s

On the eve of Chinese New Year in the 1980s,
there were no neon lights,
no grand stage setups or flashy decorations.

Instead, there was a simple old back street
without fancy packaging or gimmicks,
yet filled with human warmth and everyday life.

The air carried the aroma of fried snacks and festive goods,
neighbours greeted one another,
lively — yet just right.

“80s · Chinese New Year Old Street Fair”
aims to bring this simple but heartwarming festive spirit
back to Miri.

⸻

An Officially Recognised Cultural New Year Market

According to a Miri city councillor, this event is a Chinese New Year market approved and recognised by the Miri City Council. Presented in the form of traditional festive goods and a community-style market, it allows the public to reconnect with the cultural roots of Chinese New Year, while adding a strong festive atmosphere to the city and attracting both residents and visitors to take part.

⸻

Why Krokop?

The Krokop area is regarded as one of the early settlement points of Chinese pioneers in Miri, with over a century of Chinese community history. It was also among the earliest areas where street markets and hawker activities developed.

Holding an “old street” New Year fair in such a historically meaningful location makes the event even more fitting and special.

⸻

This Is Not a Food Festival, But a “New Year Street with Warmth”

Here, you will see:
• Freshly made and fried spring rolls and prawn fritters, full of aroma
• Fresh fish, prawns, vegetables and fruits
• A variety of traditional New Year goods
• Live Chinese calligraphy for Spring Festival couplets

Each stroke written is not just a blessing, but also a memory.

This is a street
where adults rediscover the New Year feeling of the past,
and children experience for the first time
what “celebrating New Year” truly means.
