A high point in public volunteerism especially in living the Bintulu story as President for BIFA during the intervening period of the frist and second economic boom of Bintulu.
It was just about
two months ago that I decided to compile all the scattered blog
postings I did into one blog but with a difference. The blog is
called 'Living the Bintulu story'.
It is a discipline that I put onto myself to ensure that my interest
to write a full history of Bintulu is kept warm and wanting. More
specifically I want to put the history of Bintulu in a context that
is meaningful to me first and foremost as a writer. For that matter, I am blessed because I'm living the times. Secondly, I need
to consistently keep up with finding or 'digging' more facts through
whatever sources that present themselves and write the developmental
story of Bintulu within the confines of a periodisation scheme that I
created. Next year will be the beginning of what I call the
'Millenial era' for Bintulu. This Millenia era as far as I can see
at this stage will be expanded into the 'Industrial decade' and
subsequently the ' Post-Industrial era'. For instance I did a lot of
volunteer work during the intervening period of the first and second
boom. During the fourth boom I began to put my mind into conceptual
thinking of the Malaysian garden, ecological farming, nature park,
and more history writing. I see next year ( start of the Millenial
era) as a busy year for even more research, writing and blogging on
the evolution of a millenial society in Bintulu. All these efforts
to ensure that I come closer and closer towards writing the full
history of Bintulu – 'Sleepy no more'.

More research and blogging for the Bintulu story in the Millenial era - especially on the evolution of the Bintulu millenial society during the 'industrail decade' (2016 onwards...) |
