Public Complaints About Bad Shape of Miri Stadium


It seems that the public are complaining about outdoor stadium. Specifically, its shape. I mean, an oval shape is just embarassing. Why not octagonal? Or hendecagonal or dodecagonal shaped? Oval shape is so last century. And because oval is actually a large 'zero' then the stadium is a zero. No other way about it.

Well, besides its shape, the facilities within were not maintained well. So this raises the question of whether Miri City lives up to is image or not, when it can't even maintain the stadium properly. For example, the running track, which was supposed to be red, is now gray, cracking and probably very yucky.

Piasau assemblyman Alan Ling Sie Kiong visited the stadium discovered problems with the design of the stadium itself (and I don't mean just its shape), which is flawed as the gate was right by the long jump, so anyone attempting a long jump will become a short jump because if there are people going trough the gate at the same time they will collide.

“The neglect and poor design of the stadium does not reflect Miri’s commitment to sports and it being selected as one of the country’s sports research centre,” he said.

And shape. Oval shaped is just so last century.

Archery Championship - Miri : WINNING

Miri archers won the Team Championship Challenge Trophy for the first time with a collection of five gold medals.  Team leader said something-something about mental and spiritual motivation or something, but the important thing is, Miri archers WIN at archery!


Legolas expresses surprise

They also took four silver and another four bronze medals.

Miri was represented by 27 archers who competed against 67 other archers from Bintulu, Kuching and Limbang from Sarawak, as well as teams from Terengganu, Sabah and Germany. The annual championship was held in Bintulu from August 12-17.

Now that it's been proven Mirians are sharp shooters, perhaps we can do some archery-sniper style shots at those rising crime rates.
