So I Am Driving to Sebuyau.

So I'm driving to small town call Sebuyau located in the northern coastal area of Simunjan.Below are the distance to each small towns from the Kota Semarahan ferry point. Kota Semarahan ferry point.
For a rider if a ferry stop operation the altern ative way is by sampan(photo above).
Asked if bridge were to be built across this river,Sarawak Government said there were plans but the costs to build would be very high.Nevertheless Sarawak Government said a formal request would be made to the Federal for allocation to be made available to build the bridge.
I missed a ferry at Kota Semarahan ferry point and the operator said stop due to tide.The alternative way is go via road to UITM.If you use this ferry across AsaJaya road you save time by one hour drive or 25 kilo meter.

OnBoard a ferry of Sungai Buloh ferry point.
This is a ferry I took across the Sadong River to Sebuyau.It's open ended so a ferry need not to turn around .This is not a free ride..vehicle need to pay Rm1.00 and the people free.


Feeling hungry while waiting for ferry...this kampong shop sale variety of cold and hot drink,cucur pisang and mee goreng.



Motorist are waiting for a ferry at Sg Buloh ferry point.During peak season it is comman for motorist to wait for ferry for at least two hours (long Q).

Driving the coastal road is tireing ,why not rest for a while and look for fresh pineapple .AsaJaya and Kota Semarahan is popular for its pineapple.






Advertise onbehalf of Tuan Haji in Sebuyau...maybe someone out there wish to spend a night or two in Sebuyau town ..just drop by this little cottage or enjoy your fresh sea food at Tuan Haji restaurant but subject to available of fresh stock from nearby sea.







Sebuyau Malay fishing village.









Sampan crossing to Malay fishing village.
That 's why I did not find any fresh fish in the Sebuyau market to-day..our fisherman is having day off this Sunday.









EMERGENCY 999 !!!!! or just shout for help fire! fire! fire!.











This could be the smallest fire station in Sarawak,if not in Malaysia or in the whole world.The small wooden hut is located some where behind several rows of old wooden shophouses in Sebuyau.











Driving all the way ....this is what you see green













The Coastal Road to Sebuyau.The motor accident on the uptrend at Sub-urban areas such as coastal road (picture above) have not gone unnoticed.The number of accident cases so far this year has increased by 30 cases from the corresponding period in 2007(sources from The Borneo Post).So who's to blame the driver,rider or the road condition???????.





























I'm sure the government is aware of the poor TV reception in the rural areas,as the pertinent issue has been brought up several time(in the state legislative assembly)many times.....but the people of Sebuyau solve the problem by their own...why wait for government,just pay less than Rm500.00 to install satelite dish(picture above) and you are ready to swith to the clearer reception sourced from Indonesia,Thailand and China TV.















After a long drive with compact car (850cc) my wife and I finally arrived the destination safely to small town Sebuyau.

















Ikan Terubok Sebuyau.The only species of terubok Sarawak"Tenu Alosa Toli"that can be found in this world is in the rivers of Sarawak.It is a river fish and the best one is from the river of Sebuyau.I'm looking for this terubok in Pekan Sebuyau but unfortunately I found this replica of terubok with cute smile at me saying ..Sir you are late.the fresh one all taken by the elite and I don't think can you afford to buy my friend with just few ringgit in your pocket...sorry sir or you come back next time.
I kinda like this logo .perhap the oldest in Sarawak.Just for your information there is no petrol station found all the way from the ferry point of Semarahan River to Sebuyau however if you ride a motor bike or scotter and you are out of fuel don't worry every road side village shop is saleing the petrol ...just bear in mind that the price per litter will be higher .
