Skywatch: Sibu Jaya and Keezrawati Mujan Yusuf

On my way back from Durin, my cousin drove me to Sibu Jaya,
a satellite town of Sibu where I grew up.

Sibu Jaya development is based on the concept of a self-contained township and spans  an overall gross area of approximately 1,400 acres. The development comprises a  mixed array of residential homes, shop houses, commercial centre, high rise  commercial buildings, industrial lots, schools and amenities. Upon its full completion,  Sibu Jaya will house a population of approximately 50,000 people. The township is a model township showcasing a combination of city amenities with countryside qualities. The development is centrally located along the Pan-Borneo highway, which is the first  trunk road that links Kuching and Miri. It is also a mere 1 km from Sibu Airport and  6 km from Sibu town. With the Durin Bridge now completed, Sibu Jaya has become  a transit point for long distance travelers, yet offering its residents an ideal environment  in which to work and play with. Besides full self-contained convenience, there is  also an incomparable park ambience to promote better work productively. Last Saturday, I went to a wedding in Auckland, and was pleasantly surprised to  meet Keezrawati Mujan who went to school there. Mujan is now in Auckland university  and reminds me of when I was a green horn when I first came to university here.   She wore the Malaysian National Dress, the Kebaya, and I wish I did too. The year was 1973. This is a photo of my mum, Mary Wah Kiew Chan Nee Kong. Mum was dressed in a Kebaya,  the national dress of Malaysia. People askedif she was a Malaysian Airlines stewardess. She smiled and said she was too old.  We teased that she should have told them she was the  director of the stewardess. At that time, she was the DEO's wife. Dad was the Divisional Education officer.
