The Tomb of Dato Permaisuri that of a legend of a beautiful princess who has settled down in Miri after a shipwreck. In recognition of her unselfish services to the local muslim community, her tomb was gazetted by the Sarawak Government to be part of the Miri heritage.
The legend goes that this beautiful princess from Johor was shipwrecked whilst sailing around coast of Miri on the way to Brunei. She survived and landed on the beach where the locals took care of her, where she settled, adapted herself to the local life and not wanting to return to Johor. She even set up a school and spread the teaching of Islam thereby becoming very much respected here for the love and her unselfish service to the community.
Two roads, a school and a mall in Miri were named after her. This article is from the web site miriresortcity dot com - this sentence is here to prevent blatant plagarism. Even today, many of those who know of the legend continue to visit her tomb to show respect for the great princess.

In late December 1980, strong winds, torrential rain, and heavy swells in the seas, constant heavy rains caused water from the Miri River to overflow into Lutong.
Myy Mall Shopping Complex, Lutong township's first shopping complex. Described as a “suburban family friendly mall”, the mall opened to the general public in 2013. 
To picture Miri when the township came to know oil, we have to project ourselves into a very different past. When the original Shell men arrived, it consisted of 20 scattered houses and a few shops. These included a bazaar, a gambling farm, a pawn shop and an Arab shop. The trade of Miri consisted chiefly of jelutong, brassware, belachan and budu.
