What is Sarawak?

Sarawak is a state in Malaysia. Malaysia is generally divided for the sake of discussion into East Malaysia and Peninsular (or West) Malaysia. Sarawak is in East Malaysia, on the island of Borneo.

Sarawak is Malaysia's largest state. It has a population of about 2.5 million. The capital city, Kuching, has a population of just under 600,000. (Kuching translates from Malay as "cat.")

Sarawak is ethnically diverse. About 29% of the population is Chinese (a diverse community in its own right); 21% is Malay. Ibans constitute the largest ethnic group at 30% of the population. Melanaus are considered to be the area's original inhabitants. There are at least 35 other ethnic minorities, many living a tribal lifestyle.

Sarawak is an incredibly rich natural environment. Tourism is a major industry.
