Miri is the second largest city in Sarawak, Malaysia and the capital of Miri Province. It is located in the northern part of Sarawak, next to Brunei. Miri Province is the second largest province in Sarawak and the earliest oil producer in Malaysia. It is also known as Oil City. The development of oil has led to the development of the city and is the main economic pillar of the early days. The later economic development also focused on indigenous products, timber, agriculture (mainly oil palm farming), shipbuilding, education, and tourism. Miri was upgraded to a big city on May 20, 2005 and is the tenth largest city in Malaysia. – Source:  Wikipedia
