SARAWAK – Capital City : Kuching

Sarawak is known as “Land of Hornbill”. Along the north-western seaboard of Borneo, Sarawak is home to one of the world’s oldest tropical rainforests. It is previously known as “The Land of Hornbills” in tribute to the majestic looking hornbills, which are considered messengers from the spiritual world by the Iban community.

Sarawak’s population comprises at least 25 distinct indigenous groups including Iban, Melanau, Malay, Bidayuh, Penan, Murut, Kenyah, Kayan, Kelabit, Lun Bawang and others. The non-indigenous include the Chinese and Indians, whose presence dated back over a thousand years.

Sarawak offers the best potential in Malaysia in all fields, such as economy, tourism, education, agriculture, energy resources and industry.
