on and off. I got another site to go to. N its even worse that this town. Its a site . A self sufficient site that will require 3 years ++ to finish the project and its behind schedule. I only go there when really needed. Cause have to traverse a distance , road conditions bad in between. And there is no internet there.Originally posted by bluejuice:oic..
so how long r u going to be there for?
I got a friend who worked in a small town.. i THink between sibu and kuching.. she say its so boring. NO night life at all. Really a town lor. No shopping mall also..Originally posted by BadzMaro:on and off. I got another site to go to. N its even worse that this town. Its a site .

But this town is about 1 hours drive from Sibu. Another small city , where i drink with my superiors ... drink the night away and ktv. LOL! at least there is some sort of night entertainment.![]()
Die la.. really ... its culture shock la.. from overseas to back here.. then i travel to KL , SG often for business meetings meeting cultured , educated and like minded people... n suddenly.. i am driving 5 hour trips down bad roads into a town where we are monopolising and trying to educate them on the need to globalise some stuffs and met with harsh criticism and sometimes the locals here turn violent. So yeah...Originally posted by bluejuice:I got a friend who worked in a small town.. i THink between sibu and kuching.. she say its so boring. NO night life at all. Really a town lor.

Do u know that we have firearms and licensened to carry them within our compounds in extreme circumstances . But so far nothing that bad has happened yet...
There are some locals that can turn violent when things dont go thier way. But mostly instigated by unhappy chinese . Locals are easier to satisfy , the chinese are harder.Especially when they are not up to standard they get absorbed our ousted like say , timber and sand lo. Then we got plantation not far from here , which was sabo'd.. as in set on fire.Originally posted by bluejuice:![]()

never heard of such thing b4!
Locals = ibans or lakias? Din know they're violent leh..
But its really quite a big difference in culture.. even when I go there, I also can't stay for long. Get too bored!![]()
Geez.. so serious!!Originally posted by BadzMaro:There are some locals that can turn violent when things dont go thier way. But mostly instigated by unhappy chinese .

Yup.. difference in mindset , practice and they havent seen what is out there.. the big fish.. the really big fish. Sibu is also a town where a lot of big fishes drowning in a small pond.
Yup.. but in big town is other kind of war. Its office politics and company to company politics where politicians are involved n most of the time u cant even see ur enemy or who is the one trying to undercut or sabo u.Originally posted by bluejuice:Geez.. so serious!!
Gosh, they really take matters in their own hands eh?
That's why I don't think I can stay there permanently. I still rather the laws, regulations of bigger towns.. like sg.. at least its safer..![]()
I heard about the politics.. very very ugly.. ppl get killed etc..Originally posted by BadzMaro:Yup.. but in big town is other kind of war.

Sometimes before acquiring lands , we have to send our own locals. The supervisors or local engineers to reason with the penghulu when we encroach into thier land which is rightfully ours by law but theirs by customs. Cause most of these locals have firearms.. mostly shotguns. Like the plantation , we gave them a few acres to plant what they want n give them some compensation to stop them from setting fire to the plantations. LOL!
