I grew up in Sibu, 90 miles from the sea, Sibu is at the junction of the Rejang River and Ikan River. Dad used to take us in a little park next to the Chinese temple and watch the stevedore unload cargo from ships that sailed across the sea. We marveled at our river, 350 miles of it. I still remember this statistics because it was drummed into me and I was so proud of it. We even used the word the mighty river.

I remember the Sibu waterfront used to be called the rejang esplanade or something...
