Miri Home for the Aged (Krokop Old Folks' Home)
Primary tabs
Officially opened on 12th of July 1975, Miri Home for the Aged provides shelter, food and care for the retired and aging populace or those who are bed-ridden. The Miri Chinese Charitable Trust Board got funding to run the place based on donations and grants. Staff within care for the old folks, provide and supervise activities and generally provide some company.
Originally an open - air building with ceiling fans, the building had since been renovated and upgraded over the years, the most substantial upgrade was a result of a fire. The center is located in a quiet, shady Krokop suburb, and features a park within for activities and exercises. Volunteers and non-profit organisations regularly visit the Home to do voluntary work.

Fire
On 9th January of 2012 around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a fire broke out in the Home and caused substantial damage to the center. No one was injured in the blaze, but the building was damaged sufficiently enough to be rebuilt and renovated after that to what it now is today.
To volunteer, you may contact the Home on how to help.

The Great Cave of Niah is enormous by any measure. The floor area of the cave has been calculated at almost 10 hectares and in places the cave roof rises a majestic 75 meters above the rubble-strewn floor. It has been the site of around 40,000 years of human occupation.
This theatre was one of the three 'movie theatres' as how it was called back then. Miri Theatre was located at the site of what is now Yu Lan Plaza.
Miri was bombed by U.S. B24 Bombers during World War II. Some video footage of the bombing.
Ideally located in the prime touristic area near the Tourism Corridor, MCity Inn promises a relaxing and wonderful visit.
