A Lumut General Tip
by l_joo
I visit Lumut years ago when a Sitiawan friend brought me to his home to stay a night in the typical village wooden house. They show me their rubber knife which is the sharp tool to tap the rubber trees to get the liquid (latex) flowing and drop into a cup they already nicely tied much earlier. I have no idea which one is Sitiawan and which one is Lumut as both just look so similar. Both are small town and most inhabitants from what I saw were Malaysian-Chinese of HockChew origin.

Bowling in Sitiawan
by BorneoGrrl
If you are bored out of your brains in Lumut, you can drive under half an hour to Sitiawan to experience a "bigger" town and other entertainment options. Sitiawan has a bowling center and it's not expensive to play there
