This reminds me of a scene in slumdog millionaire thou.

Sarikei is much a smaller town compare to other divison in Sarawak. Serian is much populated & developed being compared.Anybody traveling by road or express boat from Kuching to Sibu must pass through Sarikei.

Another transportation hub for traffic is via Rajang river, using the express boat. Have you ever sat in one? I have, during my trip to upper Baram.

Nice pics. Can't believe that it was less developed and 'smaller' than serian.

i dont know about serian, or how 'develop' it was. But i think sarikei got all the thing need to be a town. Maybe u should join Sarikeians facebook group to or just visit http://sarikei-time-capsule.blogspot.com/ to know the real situation.
