<\/p>\n <\/p>\n SIBU: <\/strong>The Sibujaya Night Market had an encouraging start on its opening night despite the rain.<\/p>\n Sibu Rural District Council (SRDC) chairman Sempurai Petrus said a large number of people visited the market and the council hoped it would become a new attraction in the Sibujaya township and Sibu town.<\/p>\n \u201cThe colourful lights and synchronised canopies can be something iconic in Sibujaya,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The opening of the night market was an achievement for the council, as it planned to transform Sibujaya into an economically vibrant and modern township.<\/p>\n \u201cThe council hopes the night market can improve the socio-economic growth of Sibujaya residents in line with their Local Key Result Areas (LKRAs),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n SRS-DC deputy chairman Robert Lau Hui Yew, who was instrumental in the setting up of the market, said the market would only be open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights initially.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can extend it to include weeknights as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Lau said he was currently discussing with the master developer of SibuJaya on how they could work together to promote the weekend market.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are thinking of having some activities like busking or performances by recording artistes at this site for now. We will also look into creating a collectors\u2019 weekend bazaar where residents can put up items for sale,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n All these efforts were to ensure the people had a platform to earn extra income, he explained.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Sibujaya Night Market had an encouraging start on its opening night despite the rain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2310,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2307"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2307"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2307\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2395,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2307\/revisions\/2395"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sibujaya.com.my\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>https:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/metro\/metro-news\/2017\/10\/31\/fruitful-night-market-opens-in-sibujaya\/#SKV7J25K3KTMH5Cc.99<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
