Rural bus Route 89 in Miri re-routed to Simpang Batu Niah to meet passenger demand

MIRI (Aug 2): The rural bus service from Miri to Long Lama (Route 89), operated by Miri Transport Company Sdn Bhd (MTC), has been re-routed from its previous stop at Batu Niah (near Niah Cave) to Simpang Batu Niah to better meet passenger demand, said Transport Minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin. Lee clarified that the service is not new, as some have claimed, but was adjusted due to low passenger numbers at Batu Niah. 'It was initially expected that there would be higher demand for Batu Niah, given its status as a tourist destination. However, passenger numbers were low, while demand for Simpang Batu Niah was stronger. This led to the decision to re-route the service,' he told reporters at Wisma Pelita Tunku this morning. Lee explained that Route 89 travels from Miri, passing through Simpang Batu Niah, Simpang Mamut (Beluru), Bakong, and Lapok, before reaching Long Lama. The service was first introduced on March 8 this year following a request by Telang Usan assemblyman Dennis Ngau, and originally included a scheduled stop at Batu Niah. It initially operated with two return trips daily between Miri and Long Lama. However, with the rerouting to Simpang Batu Niah and increased demand, Lee announced that the service has now expanded to three return trips daily. Lee thanked MTC for taking on the task of operating the rural bus service and responding to the needs of local communities. Telang Usan assemblyman Dennis Ngau, who joined Lee at the press conference, expressed appreciation to MOTS and MTC, saying the bus service has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from rural residents. 'Previously, many residents travelling to Miri had to spend over RM100 on transport. With the rural bus service, the cost is now only about less than half of the amount. This service has truly made life easier for the people, especially those in the rural areas,' he said. He added that the introduction of an additional daily trip has provided even greater convenience and flexibility for residents to plan their travel, improving connectivity between rural towns and urban centres. Dennis also noted a rise in passengers making short day trips to Long Lama, which he said is a positive boost for domestic tourism. Also present was MTC chairman Lee Khoi Yun.

Cafe's sea view turns out to be just printed mural

Compiled by CHARLES RAMENDRAN, TAN SIN CHOW and R. ARAVINTHAN A CAFE in China has stirred online controversy after its much-hyped 'lemon tree-themed sea view' turned out to be just a printed mural on an interior wall, China Press reported. Feeling deceived, a netizen shared her frustration on Xiaohongshu, a Chinese lifestyle platform, after travelling a long way to the cafe in Qingdao, Shandong province. The woman, who enjoys ­exploring different cafes and shops, said there was no real sea at the ­backdrop or lemon tree in sight unlike what was featured online. Her post went viral and drew a wave of sarcastic comments. A social media user said: 'Good thing you posted this – I might have gone myself.' Another likened the marketing as 'worse than scams in KK Garden in Myanmar', referring to a cybercrime and online fraud hub. > The residence of the late Cantopop diva Anita Mui has been described as 'maze-like', with some suggesting it should be converted into a museum, Sin Chew Daily reported. Many social media users commented that her home at Henredon Court, Shouson Hill Road in Hong Kong is spacious, with others even analysing its feng shui. This came after Michael Lui, a real estate agent, showcased a rare look inside the house on his YouTube channel. Mui purchased the property in 1993 under a company name for HK$20mil (about RM10.86mil) then. The duplex unit, measuring 4,075sq ft, overlooks Ocean Park and the Wong Chuk Hang MTR Station. It also offers a breathtaking 180-degree view of Shouson Hill. Mui, known as the 'Asian Madonna', died in 2003 at the age of 40 after a long battle with cervical cancer.

Cameras roll in Penang for Miss Hong Kong 2025

Beauties in white: The Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2025 finalists began filming at the City Hall and the Esplanade seafront in Penang. — Photo courtesy of Sin Chew Daily GEORGE TOWN: The production team of the Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2025 is in Penang for a four-day outdoor shoot, marking the first time the iconic event is being filmed in the state. Outdoor filming began at City Hall and the Esplanade seafront here yesterday, with additional shoots scheduled at several well-known attractions until Monday. The 14 finalists will wear traditional Nyonya attire and participate in a swimsuit segment, with local cuisine tasting sessions included in the itinerary. TVB stars Benjamin Yuen Wai-ho and Moon Lau Pui-yuet are also in town, joining the shoot as special guests. Yuen, who won the Mr Hong Kong title 17 years ago, hoped the contestants would enjoy the experience despite the tight schedule and challenges. 'The process will be tough and challenging, but it will be valuable for growth and learning,' he said. Yuen added he was glad to be part of the shoot and looked forward to relaxing and sampling local food. Lau, who was crowned second runner-up in the Miss Hong Kong Pageant 2013, said the contestants should not shy away from expressing themselves. 'Since I do not have to participate in the swimsuit segment, I will gladly 'take on' more of the local food on behalf of the contestants,' she said jokingly when met outside the City Hall yesterday. Welcoming them on-site was Penang tourism and creative economy committee chairman Wong Hon Wai. Also present were Air Itam assemblyman Joseph Ng, Seri Delima assemblyman Connie Tan, Berapit assemblyman Heng Lee Lee and Penang Global Tourism chief executive officer Ooi Chok Yan. Wong said the state's global visibility would be enhanced through the lens of a major Chinese-language entertainment brand. He said the Miss Hong Kong pageant, which began in 1946 and organised by TVB since 1973, is one of the most recognised beauty contests in the Chinese-speaking world. 'Its decision to film in Penang shows the state's growing appeal as an international filming destination. 'This is a historic moment. We see it as a chance to showcase Penang's cultural depth and modern appeal to audiences worldwide,' he was quoted as saying by state publisher Buletin Mutiara. Wong said the filming was made possible through collaboration between the Penang government and Hong Kong-based budget airline HK Express, following several weeks of discussions. He added that HK Express would double its daily flights between Hong Kong and Penang starting Oct 26. This followed a promotional campaign in late June, when Wong led a Penang delegation to Hong Kong under the theme 'Penang: Not the Penang You Know' to showcase the state's diverse cultural and tourism offerings.
