MIRI: The much anticipated, ‘Miri, Then and Now’, has finally hit the shelves of major book stores after four months of preparation and editorial work – the first of its kind, for Miri city.
Supported by Miri City Council (MCC), the book produced by the Society of English Writers Northern Zone (Soswe) on a voluntary basis, aims to provide information to the younger generation on how Miri has evolved over the years.
Launching the book yesterday, was Piasau assemblyman Datuk Sebastian Ting and Mayor Adam Yii who both lauded the book as a great effort in promoting Miri and giving a better understanding of Miri.
“In a way, it documented Miri, a city with so much historical value and tourist attractions and its many progress and development, so that it would not be forgotten,” said Ting.
Ting had contributed to the cost of publishing the book. So far, one-thousand copies of  the book are available at RM20 per copy.
