A page from the past






This is a very rare plague from the time of Sarawak's first Chief Minister. The plague goes like this:

THIS BUILDING WAS DECLARED OPEN BY
THE HONOURABLE DATO STEPHEN K. NINGKAN
THE CHIEF MINISTER OF SARAWAK
ON THE 24th AUGUST 1965

Guess which building is that?

  1. Those were the days when Sarawak saw one huge building going up once every few years...and the CM declared opened only a few buildings during his tenure....

    Nowadays...rapid development calles for opening ceremonies almost every day and in most parts of Sarawak!!

  2. Ya, and that makes the plague rare. They even use marble with wordings etched on it. Today, mmost plague would just be a sheet of metal.
