New Multimedia CD-Rom - A Message from MNS Sarawak

Dear fellow MNS members,

I am a member of the Sarawak (Miri) branch and during the past 2 years have been working with a colleague on a multimedia CD-Rom that should be of interest to a larger audience of our Society. The CD has now been released by our start-up company, Ecomedia Software, under the title
"Destination Miri (A Geological Tour -Northern Sarawak's National Parks and Giant Caves)

Our interactive multimedia CD approaches eco-tourism from a geological perspective and is extremely easy to navigate, yet has a very rich content. It is extensively narrated, and has many scenic pictures, interesting background sounds and touristic videos of Miri and the national parks (Mulu, Niah, and Lambir) of Norther Sarawak. We include pictorial and animated explanations of, for example, how the Mulu caves were formed making it interesting even to the less geologically inclined. The filming of mud volcanoes in action, the high quality pictures of the 10-15 million year old fossils, all geological explanations, many drawings and maps are original and cannot be found in other publications. The CD also includes a transcript of the book "The Miri Story", providing a historical perspective in words, pictures and narrations of the development of Northern Sarawak.

The CD is the result of private enterprise and has not been sponsored; as a consequence it is marketed at a somewhat "high" price of RM89.00, a price however fully comparable for what a similar book would cost. The Sarawak Tourism Board has been very complimentary on our CD, which it wants to use to advertise the State's natural richness. This "Made in Malaysia" CD will also demonstrate the leading edge technology available locally.
