THE Sibujaya Bike Week in Sarawak, featuring extreme motorsports, has the makings of a sports tourism product with global appeal.

“To me, it is not impossible that the Sibujaya Extreme Motocross Grand Prix, which is the highlight of the Sibujaya Bike Week, will be an attraction for motocross fans from outside Sarawak and even from overseas,” said Sibu Rural District Council (SRDC) chairman Sempurai Petrus Ngelai.
