Development brings economic opportunities to Sarikei

SARIKEI: Sarikei, 356km by land from Kuching, serves as the main transit point for travellers, either by road or sea, between Kuching and Sibu. 

Also known as Pekan Nenas, with a 3.6m replica of the fruit bearing testimony to it being a pineapple town, Sarikei is easily accessible by road, albeit meandering through thick forests and oil palm plantations.
