Ferries are very interesting subjects to talk about. This ferry photo below is from Lubokawah. Ferries can be very large or just some ones to cross a stream. Since Sarawak has many rivers flowing into the South China Sea and population is found dotted along the rivers , ferries have been very useful.
There are even a few ferries in Sarawak which sail into the open sea and move from one coastal town to another!! Or across the wide estuary of rivers.
Let us remember how useful they are to all of us. They have saved lives but some lives were lost because they were not operating during certain hours of the night.
The Nightingale was a ferry which crossed the Miri river from Miri town to the Miri Hospital in the years before 1990. Many patients came to late and while waiting for the ferry they passed away. Or when the driver of their car took the long road through Piasau, they died on the way.
