Burning in Piasau


The cement set up wasn't the source of the fire ... it's actually another outfit behind it.


Black smoke from Kuala Baram

On the way to work today we could already see the black smoke rising al the way from the fly-over in town. It deceptively looked like it was coming from Bintang Plaza or within that area but after driving closer we found out that it was not. It would've been a disaster if it was true ... all the shopping, all the Bruneians and Mirians not able to loaf there anymore this weekend.

Fortunately of unfortunately it was only a lowly factory/store/machine shop behind the national printing office in Piasau, close to the Piasau Bridge. The billowing smoke looked noxious, black and thick, it was windblown all the way to Pulau Bawai ... hopefully no one was hurt.
