Pekan <b>Lundu</b>, <b>Sarawak</b> | Sumandak Kinabalu Little Corner

Posted: 08 Jul 2011 01:59 AM PDT

This story is a continuation from my previous entry.
After the long hours sitting in the car, finally we reached a small town called Pekan Lundu. The town is located in the Southwest Division of Kuching and bordered by West Kalimantan Indonesia. Pekan Lundu is just a small town but surprisingly, it has its own beauty and attractions.

The first thing I notice is the temple. I never entered a temple before and this is also my first time to watched it from a close range. Although I have the chance to look inside the temple, I didn't do it. Mr. M said it is not a crime but I just can't. So we ended taking pictures outside the temple :)





Another attraction at the Pekan Lundu is the giant vase. I become a model that day with Mr. M being the photographer....hahahaha
One thing I really like about the town is...it is very clean! Some of the buildings may seem dull and old but their owners are very concerned about cleanliness. I didn't see rubbish scattered on the road or behind buildings, especially food outlets. And I really respect them for that...nowadays it is very hard to find a clean town. I am not giving such praise blindly, I wrote what I saw :)

The people here also very nice and friendly. Looks like they know each other very well. I mean they can easily recognize new faces at their town. They will ask you warmly where you coming from, how long will you stay and wishing you will have a good time during the stay :)


After sightseeing and enjoy a cup of coffee, we continue the journey...One more thing, I can see that almost every lot at Pekan Lundu got this parabola thing. I wish I have one at home, unfortunately it is forbidden to have one in Kota Kinabalu...hehehehe

Laman Naim Qlate - Suatu Ketika: Nuri gugur <b>di</b> Sungai <b>Lundu</b>

HASHIM Ibrahim menunjukkan tempat kejadian helikopter Nuri terhempas yang kini dikenali sebagai Pulau Nuri. (Gambar kecil) akhbar Utusan Malaysia keluaran 19 Disember 1989 menceritakan kejadian nahas helikopter Nuri di Sungai Lundu, Sarawak.

HARI Isnin, 18 Disember 1989. Cuaca sebagaimana kebiasaan pada musim tengkujuh di Kuching, Sarawak masih tidak menentu dan beberapa kawasan rendah sudah ditenggelami air berikutan hujan lebat beberapa hari sebelumnya.

Di Pangkalan Tentera Udara Malaysia (TUDM) Kuching pula, sebuah helikopter Nuri seawal pukul 8 pagi sudah bersedia menerbangkan 16 penumpang termasuk empat pegawai tinggi Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM), masing-masing dua orang berpangkat Jeneral dan tiga Kolonel.

Mereka terdiri daripada Panglima 1 Divisyen, Mejar Jeneral Datuk Mustaffa Awang; Panglima 3 Briged Infantri, Brigadier Jeneral Datuk Hasbullah Yusuf yang lebih dikenali sebagai Bond Hasbullah; Pegawai Memerintah Batalion Kelima Rejimen Renjer Diraja (RRD), Leftenan Kolonel Mohd. Johari Selan; Pegawai Memerintah Batalion Ke-13 Rejimen Askar Melayu Diraja (RAMD), Leftenan Kolonel Tunku Abdul Aziz Tunku Osman dan Pegawai Staf Satu (Operasi) 1 Divisyen, Leftenan Kolonel Mustafa Kamal Mohd. Yusoff.

Destinasi yang dituju mereka ialah Kem Sematan untuk menghadiri majlis penutup Kursus Risik Tempur. Namun, berikutan halangan cuaca buruk, penerbangan helikopter pelbagai guna itu terpaksa ditangguhkan sehingga pukul 8.50 pagi.

Penangguhan hampir sejam itu rupa-rupanya memberi petunjuk bahawa penerbangan berkenaan adalah yang terakhir buat kesemua penumpang.

Berdasarkan rekod kenyataan rasmi Kementerian Pertahanan, helikopter itu terputus hubungan dengan menara kawalan hanya selepas 15 minit berlepas sehingga TUDM terpaksa melancarkan gerakan mencari dan menyelamat (SAR).

Dua buah pesawat Alouette telah dikerah untuk mengesan Nuri yang membawa individu penting dalam hierarki kepimpinan ATM itu sehinggalah pencariannya menemui noktah. Ia ditemui terhempas di muara Sungai Lundu, berhampiran Kampung Kuala Bandang, kira-kira 60 kilometer (km) ke barat laut Kuching.

Kejadian yang mengorbankan semua penumpang itu dilaporkan berlaku dalam keadaan cuaca buruk dengan hujan lebat disertai angin kencang dan kilat sabung-menyabung.

Selepas 22 tahun nahas itu berlalu, wartawan S2, SAIFUL HAIZAN HASAM dan SOPI SAMAILE serta jurufoto AMIR HAFIZ ABDUL RAHMAN menyusuri muara Sungai Lundu untuk mengimbas tragedi yang turut menyumbang kepada statistik 17 kejadian Nuri terhempas sehingga mengorbankan 95 nyawa sejak 1968.
