Bintulu is growing real fast. What was formerly the main town centre has now become the old town. Apart from small areas of shop lots scattered everywhere, Bintulu has two new commercial centers, the area around the Kemena hotel and the area around the New World hotel. Today I took a walk at yet another new commercial centre, the area around the Promenade, a gleaming new hotel perched on top of a small hill. New shop buildings mostly still empty but I can see renovations going on everywhere. A sign that the buildings are mostly taken up and this new place will soon be busy and crowded. A booming town for sure. No surprise then that the houses here are the third most expensive in Malaysia, behind KL and Penang.
