| Me and my friend at Kuching Cat Statue! :D |
When it comes to weekends, and I'm going home from Politechnic, I always spent most of my time here, relaxing, hanging out with besties and doing crazy stuffs! It can released our stress and forgetting about our assignments in few hours :)
Kuching is the capital city of Sarawak in Borneo Malaysia. Kuching or rather Kucing is the Malay word for cat and thus this city is known as the Cat City. One of the famous landmarks around the main town area is the Cat Statue which is located opposite the Riverside Majestic Hotel on Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Abell. This place also famous among tourists and the special about it is you will also be able to see a few other cat structures and one famous one is located at the end of Jalan Abell nearing a roundabout that leads you to Jalan Padungan. This particular cat statue is said to be famous for the different theme that is being set for each festive season. This Cat Statue was created on the 1st of August 1988 to remember the “Hari Bandaraya” or also knows as the City Day Celebration in English.
The cat statues not only gives a unique feel to the city, they are also
nice photography subjects. This white cat is the Kuching South City
Council, it was built in the 90s and is the first
ever cat statue in Kuching. For me, it is the nicest and friendliest
looking of all. It sits in front of the Little China Town along Jalan
Padungan and looks like it is welcoming visitors with its waving hand LOL :D This cat changes into different costumes during the major celebrations, cute eh? And I think the whiskers can be bent into different shapes to signify its mood.
The most recognizable cat statue should be the one near the Kuching Waterfront, opposite the Grand Margerita Hotel.
Some of the cat statues play gleefully around here
