A look at the flags used in Sarawak since 1841.
Sarawak has a very ancient history; the burial grounds at Niah Caves National Park are evidence of the oldest modern human settlement in SouthEast Asia, and the cave area has been continuously inhabited for 40,000 years, making it one of the most important archaeological sites in the world.
Sarawak has been an important source of precious metals, precious stones, birds' nests and jungle produce from as early as the 5th Century CE, according to ancient Chinese trading records.
Ruled by "White Rajahs", Sarawak was an independent country until 1946, when in a much disputed Act of Cession it become one of Great Britian's last colonies.

The Old Miri Airport was planned and built in the 1970s, where a demand for a more modern and longer runway was needed to accommodate Fokker 50s and the Boeing 737s for a booming commercial aviation as commercial flying became a more affordable way to travel. 
Built in 1913, and (then) located next to the Miri River and alongside the 
Lutong Bridge is the bridge linking Pujut 8 to Lutong across Miri River. This bridge was originally single-lane for each direction, but eventually upgraded in the early 2000s to accommodate for more traffic to double-lane going each direction. There is actually a road that goes beneath this bridge linking to Lutong Baru, effectively making this bridge Miri's very first 'overpass'.
