Heroes Memorial Monument in Limbang.
Heroes Memorial Monument located in front of Limbang Police Station is
listed as a new tourist destination under the Ministry of Tourism to
promote the acts of the warriors, who died in 1962.The monument had to be promoted because it has its own history as a
tribute to the warriors who were killed fighting against British
colonialism.“The Heroes Memorial Monument has been listed as a tourist attraction in
Limbang in Sarawak. Therefore, various efforts will be made to upgrade and
beautify the monument to attract both domestic and international
visitors.
A memorial stands alone opposite the Limbang Police Station. It
commemorates the death of five Royal Marines and four Royal Malaysian
Police Constables who was killed in action during the Limbang
Rebellion/Limbang Raid. Built close to the spot where where the first Z
craft landed, the unveiling of the monument in 1963 was attended by
many of the Royal Marines who took part in the actual riot.

Media Visit for Pesta Babulang Lumba Kerbau in Batu Danau in Limbang. (part4).
The program for 8th of June 2013 (Saturday).
.Bisaya traditional cooking contest
.Buffalo race competition
.Exhibition and sale of handicrafts
.Official opening ceremony of Buffalo Race 2013
.Buffalo Race & Kuntul berhias (decorated float)
Myself, Amirul of Sarawak Tourism Board in Miri and Lim of Borneo Touch Ecotour heading to Batu Danau about 40 KM from Limbang Town and less than 10 KM from the border with Brunei.Well,,I would say it was a carnival like atmosphere as buffalo racing is a traditional pastime of the community here and they keep it alive thru Pesta Babulang.The pesta is included in the Tourism Package offering Culture and Buffalo races as part of the attractions among local and tourist from Sabah and Brunei.Do you know that the buffalo 'Jockeys' need to be agile to get on their beast of burden before hurtling down the race track.The unpredictable temperament of the animal would add to the excitement of the event.The jockeys need not have to wear safety suit like those jockey who ride Horses.."Watch out and do not stand too near as these buffaloes don’t have brakes and proper steering wheel. They can go out of control and barrel at you,” came the warning loud and clear by the event commentator over the public announcement system.".
There was also the colorful parade of ‘Kuntul’ depicting Bisaya history, including the single pole paddy barn.It was fun but the weather that day was 'HOT' ,It was a feast for both cultural and photo-bugs to savour, as almost everyone was snapping pictures and videos of the colourful event to be posted on Facebook, Instagram and other social media while the more serious ones, including photographers from Brunei, came armed with top photographic equipment to capture the magic unfolding at this Buffaloes that provide thrills and spills, fun and hilarity.
Below is a set of photograph that I shoot during the 'Pesta Babulang (Lumba Kerbau)' in Kampong Batu Danau in Limbang.
