A bustling and rapidly growing town located in the heart of Sarawak. As the new millennium dawns, the People of Sibu are all geared up to play their respective roles in turning this town into a unique Garden City of the future.

Located some 60 miles from the South China Sea, Sibu is one of the major towns in the Mate of Sarawak. Of the 13 different states which make up Malaysia, 11 are in Peninsular Malaysia, and two states, Sarawak and Sabah are in what is known as East Malaysia, in the north-western region of the island of Borneo.

Considering that the entire country is almost 332,000 square kilometres, with Penisular Malaysia accounting for 131,387 square kilometres and Sabah, 76,115 square kilometres, Sarawak itself accounts for close to 40 percent of the total landmass in the country.

Sibu is the gateway to central Sarawak, the largest state of Malaysia.  It is by the confluence of Igan River and Rajang River, the largets and logest river in Malaysia.  Sibu has envisioned to be the City of Culture and Festival and the signature event - Borneo Cultural Festival draws large crowd annually in the month of July.
