The riverside park located at Sibu Town Square Phase 2 had been demolished recently to give way to Sibu Town Square Development project by Fullyard Sdn. Bhd. According to the information, the development project will include two blocks of 25-storey high-end condominium, an eight-storey budget hotel, a six-storey office tower and plenty of shop houses which estimated to be completed in 3 years time.
I bet most of the Siburians are not aware/expecting about this demolition until recently they went to the place that they used to go for recreational activities and only discovered the beautiful park is in the process of clearing.
I believe that before this most people only aware that the mega project will involve the river fillings area in front of the riverside park and never expecting the park to be sacrificed.
In my archive, some of the beautiful scenery of the park (taken in 2009) and it'll soon be a history!

ReplyDeleteI believe the "background" of the parties who owned the land must be very strong and powerful. So, what can't be done? Mr. $$ speaks! ^^
DeleteEnvironment & development? I guess hardly get a balance between them!
Oh my i remember strolling along the waterfront with such view of the confluence of two great rivers.
