The Council Negri Monument marks the 1867 meeting of Sarawak's first legislative council, held in Bintulu during the Brooke era. It is a small monument, but the event it recalls gives Bintulu a specific place in Sarawak's political history.
Visit it as part of a short circuit around the old town and waterfront rather than as a standalone attraction. The value is in context: Bintulu is now dominated by energy and port activity, and this marker points back to an earlier river-town role.
