In Sibu it was common for every one to carry a paper umbrella. People walking carried umbrellas, people riding bicycles also carried umbrellas.
The oiled paper umbrellas were imported from Fujian where it was a traditional craft.
In the hot climate of Sarawak, the umbrella has been a very important item. A rain may suddenly come so it is also a good protection.
