Hi Gigi, thank u heaps for this video. I lived in one of the govt bungalows for 10 yrs nearby on the hill overlooking Luak Bay..at the time it was pristine & quiet. Now 20 yrs later, I cannot recognize the area!! Thanks again..most interesting video!!! Big love frm Canada.
Miri... "Beverly Hills of Malaysia". I'm speechless after looking at those super duper posh mansions. Only the wealthiest can afford to own them. Thanks for the tour. The Airbnb you guys stayed is nice, spacious and cozy. Thanks again for the house tour. Have a happy blessed weekend, Mike GG.
Anyway, welcome to my city Miri, the oil and gas capital of Malaysia. People found oil in Miri hundreds of years ago and the first oil rig is built 112 years ago on Canada Hills. Since then, a lot of Mirians are working in the oil and gas industry throughout Malaysia in several companies. Some of the companies are even opening their HQ or at least their office in Miri! As time goes by, industries sprung out like mushrooms. You should see how Bruneians shop in Miri- they shop like there's no tomorrow. Our airport is the busiest domestic airport in Malaysia. Now, wealthy people in Miri are usually in oil and gas, palm oil or in timber industries. Almost very home in Miri has a car each. That actually explains why Miri is the 4th most expensive city in Malaysia 😂
Another reason why almost every home has car(s) is because of our public transport. Or the lack of it, to be precise. Take Kuching for example. There used to be several bus companies operating within Kuching city alone. Nearing 2000, their(the bus companies) number started to dwindling. Now. if you missed a bus, it mean a long waiting game for you for another one to come.
First of all, Thank you for making this video about Miri ☺️ But I have only one correction about what you said, the most people group who live in Miri, is not Chinese.
The mansions i think are mostly owned by business tycoons especially timber tycoons not specifically related to oil and gas. There are also such “beverly hills” like areas in sibu and kuching. Of course also in KL in areas like bangsar, bukit damansara.
Yes owned by people responsible for the wide scale deforestation of Sarawak and continuing in other countries round the world such as PNG, Belize, Gabon.
im at west malaysia right now but as a 13 year old boy who grew up in miri (and at that EXCACT area in that video = luak bay), im still thrilled by the mansions :) (funfact: my kindergarten friend lives in one of those mansions!!)
Not because oil & gas, but actually there are the clan which initially open & explore Miri from jungle until big city.. just Google about it. Its not secret, but open secret..😏
Hi, Indonesian 🇮🇩 guy here 🙋🏻♂️ I'm very surprised so many rich people in a small city there, but why Malaysia is not on the list of Top 25 Countries by number of Millionaires ?
Good question. We have goverment that doesnt seems to care for their own people. The millionaires are always in KL. Except East Malaysia. If u're a person who live in East Malaysia u will understand our situation. Things are expensive but salary is low. But KL it is. KL looks perfect but the people are so arrogant
Many got rich off exploiting the state's natural resources. leaving nothing for local rural communities but scorched earth in areas where these communities formerly farmed and foraged for food. Next time ask your Grab driver to take you just an 1 hour outside of Miri to witness many local communities living in unimaginable poverty to present the other side of this story. Now that would be a story worth sharing to the world.
many of them own by Shin Yang family.... nahhh i think country height kajang have much bigger and much more house compare to that tanjung lobang miri house.....
Dodos, I thought for a brief spell you were teleporting us to the streets of Romania where some Roma (Gypsy) people have built spectacular houses like those. But you were still actually in Miri, right?
As a Sarawakian, the mansion that area is really amazing. Miri is one of the most expensive city in Sarawak. But, I think Bintulu is more expensive and according to statistics, Bintulu has the highest household income in Sarawak and even one of the highest in Malaysia. Also, in Bintulu, Tanjung Batu Beach Bintulu is one of the best beach I visited.
Super luxury mansions there. You have the money you can built almost anything, but, without workers and maids to maintain and clean, the houses will stink.
Most rich ppl in malaysia all drive myvi and 4 wheel, with old-looking t shirt, shorts and sandals. u wont know what they do just by looking, truly a culture of Malaysia XD
There is a lot of interesting place around Miri. One of the biggest cave in the world called Gua Niah (Niah Caves) and the pointy rock formation called Mulu Pinnacles.
Hi Mike and Gigi...finally the video I had been waiting for from you guys.I have mentioned this before in comment.I really hope one of you guys share the video about the all the mansion located around Tanjung lubang and Luak Bay area.We used to drive by this mansions whenever our family going back to Miri for holiday.Thanks for.sharing so that we can get closer look at mansion.The apartment where you guys stay is look amazing as well.
And then you go to the neighbouring country Brunei, the houses aren't as great as this. Unless you're part of the royal family. But then, still aren't modern as this.
Their maids, dogs and cats enjoy staying in those big houses. The owner? Nah..! They maybe busy doing busy elsewhere and staying in hotels in some foreign country. ✌️😁
@@blizzard9954 Unfortunately that's true - not helped by the fact that for a West Malaysian to enter East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) the procedure, immigration wise, is just like entering another country. A West Malaysian needs an international passport to enter Sabah or Sarawak and can stay there for up to 90 days. Instead of passport, IC can also be used but more inconvenient since you will be issued a 90-day visa slip by Sabah/Sarawak immigration which you shouldn't lose. Also a West Malaysian can't work in East Malaysia without work permit. An East Malaysian, on the other hand, can enter and work in West Malaysia with no issue.
Still some people in Malaya are saying our Sarawakian people live on the tree..What a joke..Come and visit the hundreds of modern longhouses here in Sarawak..One thing for sure,we the Sarawakian never appear in Bersamamu TV3...🤭🤣
@@muhd7144 ..Sir, we have to respect MA63 Agreement.One of stipulation in Formation of Malaysia..We are not joining Malaysia but formed together Malaysia with Malaya,Sabah and Singapore last time.To safeguard our Sarawakian rights land and businesses..Thats why our immigration is still intact and must be followed.Hopefully u know what i meant.If Tunku Abdul Rahman not agreed to the term of MA63 last time, well there is no Malaysia, Sir.
I have stayed in Sarawak for more than 10 years. Yes, Miri has changed a lot. 1st there 1984 to 1986, a cowboy town. Then 2006 to 2015 a city. The place they show is really something.
The one with flyover owned by Tan Sri Ting Pek KING..SinYang properties and timber and palm oil tycoon , the Dr mansion owned by Dr George Chan former Minister and Miri member of Parliament.. That place called LUAK BAY..
Hi Hello I live in Miri City for more than 10 years. I live/had a house in Taman Desa Seri. I left Miri in 2003. Miri is a small city; I believe ur now at Tanjong Lobang....the rich/timber tycoon haven.
2003 was long long time ago 😅 Miri development now double if not triple of what it was back then. my home at Hillstone Garden at the hillside of Canada Hill.
@@alleymittanderson5799 Owh Yeaah. Nice to hear from you. I knew and have been to every corner of Miri City. I was then the Sub-Contractor for Telecom Malaysia during the late 90's-2002. I did the Civil/Cable Laying at the Tmn Desa Senadin.
@@patrickjebireden1286 nice.. taman desa senadin also surronded by new development, i believe during 2003 you already know that permyjaya will be a new township, i am doing my intern as civil works supervisor with Naim Cendera 2004. that area gowth maybe 10times of it was comparing to 2003 - 2004 period.
Yup.. I know several millionaire from Bintulu. Most of them have house in Miri esp the one are in oil and gas.. even Bintulu is develop still they choose to build mansion there. My rich friend would have holiday in Miri since they have mansion there.
Yes, because rich bumi is not fond of collecting residential. I know a millionaire bumi, they just hardly buy expensive house but would do anything for 100 acres of agricultural land and 4 wheels and bike. They spend less on such properties but more on experiences. Only the younger gen of bumis and Chinese seems to have fond over properties.

First of all, Thank you for making this video about Miri ☺️
But I have only one correction about what you said, the most people group who live in Miri, is not Chinese.
Although Terengganu had the oil & gas industrial too but their state still backwards compare with Sarawak..
Hahaha.. just Google about it.. its open secret about land lord clan for every city in sarawak. Its not like kerteh or paka in tganu..😅
@@askarsepoi true, u will not find bumiputera living in the big mansion, if u know what i mean 😏
The shin yang mansion is even more beautiful at night, it is literally shining with all the lights lighting the entire mansion up.
The mansions i think are mostly owned by business tycoons especially timber tycoons not specifically related to oil and gas. There are also such “beverly hills” like areas in sibu and kuching. Of course also in KL in areas like bangsar, bukit damansara.
Yes. These are homes of timber tycoons not Oil&Gas tycoons.
Yes owned by people responsible for the wide scale deforestation of Sarawak and continuing in other countries round the world such as PNG, Belize, Gabon.
the mansion owned by Shin Yang ceo
But KL and sibu have no beach. Miri=Beverly hills coz both are seaside city.
More than true.
Sarawak Governor house is bigger than Buckingham Palace in UK.
Haha.. open secret 😉
im at west malaysia right now but as a 13 year old boy who grew up in miri (and at that EXCACT area in that video = luak bay), im still thrilled by the mansions :) (funfact: my kindergarten friend lives in one of those mansions!!)
Yeay another new video!!!!

Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest much much much bigger... been there 4 years ago... 😀
That's government building. Those in the video are private own properties.

Sarawakian are low profile people and doesn"t like to show off. Sarawak is the 3rd richest state in Malaysia....
Large families traveling to Miri are welcome to stay in this condo. Although I've stayed here before, a discounted rate is the best time to go.
Build for the entertainment of the rich -Gigi

Most of the mansions are between 2k to 2.5k square meters built-up area. The biggest, I believe should be around 5k square meters.
Hii...Dodo Explorers...hope oulls enjoy..👍👍

Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Have lot of this type semi detached or bungalow house, may be when you back to Kuala Lumpur , I can show you.

Correction
Miri is not Beverly Hills of Malaysia.
There are many more expensive housing areas in Malaysia
Miri is only an Oil & Gas town in Sarawak.
Very beautiful Apartment
Dodos, I thought for a brief spell you were teleporting us to the streets of Romania where some Roma (Gypsy) people have built spectacular houses like those. But you were still actually in Miri, right?
Haha, yes, we are still in Miri!
I feel weird.. we always talk during live.. so my comment gonna be so weird..

Bintulu is definitely the next Miri. Just look at the prices for property there, and it's only going up.
@@LeOrangePotato ya, property in Bintulu really insane. The prices are even higher than Miri and Kuching now.
Bintulu beach are polluted due to industrial. Not good for tycoon to live here. Kch and miri still no.1 choice for these super rich tycoon.

Those mansions are magnificent! Love the drone shots!! Another great video.
Money from raping of the forests of Sarawak, not really wealth from oil & gas.
Their maids, dogs and cats enjoy staying in those big houses. The owner? Nah..! They maybe busy doing busy elsewhere and staying in hotels in some foreign country. ✌️😁
Gifted those maids and pets... hahaha

Every single house looks luxurious and wonderful. Thanks for showing around such a beautiful city (not a village).😀👍👍
Just to let you know, Miri is a city!
sorry, pls re-correct it, this is MIRI SARAWAK, not malaysia.
Many land outside of kl is cheap therefore people can build a huge house on their land plus construction cost in Malaysia is quite reasonable
For me. The huge 1 was locate near the beach at Esplanede Miri. Its look like a castel. Its take about 15 minute from tht location.
And who said Sarawak is a poor state in Malaysia? He never explore here
after explore, tapi semua cina
Nice nice, wonderful
Beautiful.
Rich Malaysians are practical people. They don't buy cars like the Arabs. Cars are not good investments.
True, they break down and it's expensive to maintain 😉😅
First 😅
The biggest is still the one owned by their eldest brother by the sea at Tanjung Lobang. Can't see from roadside.
