From ‘belacan’ village to industrial might


Huge mega shopping mall called Paragon Bintulu under construction near existing old shops in Bintulu town.

BINTULU started off 30 years ago with humble beginnings as a riverbank village specialising in the production of “belacan”, a prawn paste famous in Sarawak.

Today it is home to heavy industries worth multi-billion ringgit and populated by more than 200,000 people from all walks of life.
