SIBU (Nov 6): Having Sibu Powerboat Race be included in the state’s calendar of events could help in promoting local tourism, in that it could attract not only the international participants, but also tourists.
In this regard, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the long- or mid-term plan might include this watersport to be part of Sarawak’s calendar of events.
“Actually, Sibu has always been known for its own regatta and also powerboat-racing. I remember when I was young, every year we would have this powerboat racing.
“We have the Deputy Minister (of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development Sarawak Dato Gerald Rentap Jabu) here, where we can help make it (powerboat-racing) be part of state’s calendar of events.
“Hopefully, we could attract more international participants to come in and at the same time, the tourists as well,” he told reporters when met after performing the prize-presentation for the 30hp Three-Cylinder Tunnel Boat category of the Sibu Powerboat Race 2023 yesterday.
However, Fadillah also pointed out that there would be a lot of things to be improved if Sibu were to attract more international powerboat racers.
The event, which concluded yesterday, was jointly organised by Persatuan Perpaduan Sungai Merah and Sibu Motorsports Association.
There were eight categories contested: the 5hp Open, 18hp Longboat, 18hp Tunnel Boat, 30hp Two-Cylinder Tunnel Boat, 30hp Three-Cylinder Tunnel Boat, SST-45 Formula Lights, 50hp Tunnel Boat, and SST-60 Pro Class Tunnel Boat.
There was also Miss Sibu Powerboat Race 2023 pageant being held in connection with the event, in which 17-year-old Michelle Demung was crowned the winner.
Among those present yesterday were Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) deputy chairman Mohammed Abdullah Izkandar Roseley and Councillor Joshua Ting, Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Bawang Assan chairman Robert Lau, and event’s organising chairman Emir Rosely.

History of Astrakhan Oblast
In ancient times, the territory of the Astrakhan region was crossed by trade routes of the Persians and the Arabs. In the 8th-10th centuries, the territory belonged to the Khazar Khanate. There is a hypothesis that Itil, the capital of the Khazar Khanate, was located on this territory. It was destroyed by Prince Svyatoslav in 965.
Later, Polovtsy settled on this land. In the first half of the 13th century, the Mongol-Tatars came to the area. After them, Tatars of the Astrakhan Khanate and Kazakhs became the main population of the region.
In 1556, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, the Astrakhan Khanate was annexed to the Russian state and ceased to exist. Astrakhan krai became the southeastern military outpost of Russia. In particular, in 1569, the Turks unsuccessfully besieged the fortress of Astrakhan.
In the 17th century, trade, fishing and salt industries developed in the region. In the middle of the 17th century, the uprising of Stepan Razin took place on the territory of Astrakhan region. In 1722, near the mouth of the Kutum River, a shipyard called the Astrakhan Admiralty was built. In the 1730s-1740s, the processing of silk and cotton began here.
Astrakhan Oblast was created in 1943. The region gained its current borders in 1957.
