Pathway to Indonesia For Sarawakians, Indonesia is only a few steps away. Tebedu, a small town about 80 kilometres away from Kuching, is one's gateway to Indonesia. The moment one passes through immigration clearance at Tebedu checkpoint, and proceed towards Entikong checkpoint, you will be able to sense the difference. Here are some precious pics I captured on my brief visit to Entikong, the West Kalimantan border town about 2 weeks ago:
Something which is illegal less than 50 feet away is sold like any other sundry goods in the makeshift stall. Take note- under S. 29 of the Sarawak Wildlife Protection Ordinance, a person can be fined up to RM20,000 and may also be liable to 2 years imprisonment, if found in possession of derivatives of a totally protected wildlife species (eggs etc).
What remains of a once bustling marketplace.
makeshift shops...
gateway to West Kalimantan.
The gate in blue, demarcates the Malaysian boundary. If you squint your eyes you will be able to see a light green gate which demarcates the Indonesian border. Stand in the middle, and you're Indo-Malay. :D No pun intended. by miracle8 at 08:32 pm

Profile Right... four years exactly into working life and suddenly I found the urgent need to ramble about my not so interesting life...here goes:
I am: Liberal and radical on paper only. This is the basic description I would give myself. I am a good listener and usually offer sensible advice. If I don't sound like myself, its must be my evil twin at work :P I am passionate about: Music and Arts. Can't imagine what this world would be like without these two essential elements. When I'm not working my head off I like: Meeting new people from all walks of life and listening to their life experiences. I take things with an open mind (albeit not completely Zen like) and always remind myself not to take anything in life for granted. And I wish: All my friends, my family and everybody else who will somehow cross paths with me, a fulfulling life, in terms of work and relationships. And remember, you only live once. So make the best out of it. :) Tag Board Calendar
