THIS MONUMENT
COMMEMORATES
THE CENTENARY OF THE FIRST MEETING
OF THE COUNCIL NEGRI OF SARAWAK HELD
AT THIS SITE ON 8TH SEPTEMBER 1867
Monumen memperingati persidangan pertama Parlimen Negara Sarawak juga lebih dikenali sebagai Council Negri. Persidangan pertama telah dilangsungkan pada 8 September 1867 oleh HRH Rajah Charles.
Negara Sarawak merdeka dan berdaulat telah ditubuhkan pada tahun 1841 di mana Rajah James Brooke menjadi Rajah Negara Sarawak yang pertama.
Bintulu was the birthplace of Sarawak Council Negri in 1867, a wooden house, very humble beginnings. Sarawak established probably the first in the region a law-making assembly. Comprising British officers and local native leaders, nevertheless no one dared to object to the Rajah's wishes!
