Sarawak, Administrative division in Malaysia
Sarawak extends across 124,450 square kilometers in East Malaysia on Borneo island, between the South China Sea and the Crocker Mountain Range.
The territory transformed from an independent kingdom under the White Rajahs Brooke family into a British Crown Colony before joining Malaysia in 1963.
The state contains 28 ethnic groups, including Iban, Bidayuh, Melanau, and Chinese communities, each maintaining their languages and traditional practices.
The capital city Kuching connects to major Asian destinations through its international airport and serves as the primary entry point for visitors.
The Rajang River flows 563 kilometers through Sarawak, making it the longest waterway in Malaysia and a central transport route.
