Where is Mukah??
A lot of people asking me this question against and against
***** Mukah is the administrative centre for the whole Mukah Division, a coastal region covering almost 7,000 sq km with a population of over 110,000. The population is primarily Melanau (55%) and Iban (35%) with small numbers of Chinese, Malays, Bidayuhs and others. Mukah and its surrounding kampungs (villages) are the historic centre of Melanau culture. The town played an important role in Sarawak’s history, as the Brooke Rajahs and the Brunei Sultans competed with one another to control the valuable sago trade in the 19th Century. An old smokestack in the centre of town is one of the few surviving relics of this period. Sights to see in Mukah include the bustling fishing harbour in the old town; the ancient water village at Kampung Tellian, where visitors can see traditional boat builders at work; the vibrant cultural centre at Lamin Dana; and the colourful Tua Pek Kong Temple. On a more modern note, the Town Mosque and the new Civic Centre both feature multi-coloured conical roofs which are modelled on the terendak, a sun hat made of sago palm leaves which is the principal icon of Melanau culture. Mukah is accessible by road or air. *****
