Originally a sleepy Melanau fishing village, Bintulu is nowadays Sarawak’s main industrial town and principal deep-water port, servicing the oil, gas and timber industries. The town is located at the mouth of the Kemena River and made up primarily of Ibans, Chinese, Malays and Melanaus, with a smattering of Bisayas, Kedayans, Bidayuhs, Orang Ulus and a large expatriate contingent. The population growth of Bintulu are mainly contributed by the setting up of an Industrial zone area known as Samalaju Industrial Park which is launched in 2008.
