Ironically located at a depression of the hills and surrounded by higher terrain, Hilltop Garden is a small residential community that was built in the mid 1980s just off Riam Road.
Riam Road is one of the oldest roads in Miri. Originally just a dirt and stone path road, today the road is tar sealed, and connects from Miri-Bintulu Roadway intersection at King Commercial Center to Alpine Road.
Riam Institute of Technology is the largest private technical institute and the best automotive technical institute, and also the largest U.K. Cambridge A-Level License Approved in Sarawak.
Morsjaya Commercial Center is located along Jalan Miri-Bintulu road and is one of the earlier townships located further from town in Miri and is still one of the busiest.
In the 1920s, these were the years when the Miri field began to decline. Exploration was carried out further and further afield. In 1926 an exploratory team had gone as far as Padang Barawa between the Sungai Seria and Sungai Barawa. Not much attention was paid to their findings then, but now with the Miri field declining the old maps and charts were taken out and studied again.
