First oil well in Malaysia - Canada Hill, Miri

Miri was the first and oldest oil well in Malaysia and named as Grand Oil Lady. It situated at the top of Canada Hill at Lutong road. This oil well was found in 10th August 1910 and she was in operation for well over 60 years before she was retired, and now she is one of Miri City’s famous landmarks

At the Canada Hill, it has a petroleum museum. Because of our arriving on Monday and it does not open, therefore we not welcomed by the museum.




Outside the museum was so nice and windy. The surronding of the trees and plant were so greenish...



This is the petroleum molecule that symbolize the place was the one of the oil well in Malaysia. But i guess not much Malaysian will know where is our first oil well....



This is the first oil tower in Malaysia and it worked for 60 years. Malaysian, our country still produce petroleum???



Under the tower are the monument of people working. This is the method the people work for hard to get the petroleum.
Me also working hard at there to take picture.



This is the wall picture showing Malaysia petroleum history. How well you know about our petroleum history??




This is the view from Canada Hill to Miri's Town. At the same time, the sea is Southeast China Sea. I'm sure the view will be very nice after full of light.


Our Miri's tour guide Ei Ling, and I'm at here to say thank you very much for what she done and all the arrangement to the 5 monkeys (Katherine(my roommate) Siao Hui(Mobis), A fa(the most naughty monkey), Guang Aui(our old man), and me....

What the two guys want to do at the hill that full of grass?!? Actually the just get ready to let us shot their picture at the top of the hill.


Katherine and a fa always is the enemy. In Miri they always fight for "Sir" and "Maria"
He always bully the Maria do thing when at Ei Ling's home.
