Sarawak, the largest state in Malaysia, is located on the island of Borneo and is famously known as the “Land of the Hornbills.” It is home to vast rainforests, winding rivers, and rich biodiversity, including orangutans, proboscis monkeys, and rare plants. The state boasts world-renowned natural attractions such as Gunung Mulu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the mighty Rajang River, Malaysia’s longest river.
Culturally, Sarawak is a melting pot of more than 40 ethnic groups, including the Iban, Bidayuh, Malay, Chinese, and Orang Ulu communities, each with unique traditions and festivals. Celebrations like Gawai Dayak and the Rainforest World Music Festival reflect this diversity. Historically ruled by the White Rajahs before becoming part of Malaysia in 1963, Sarawak today enjoys a high degree of autonomy and thrives through its natural resources, oil and gas, agriculture, and tourism.
This programme is initiated, organised and launched by the Malaysian Government and is thus one that the Government will continuously seek to improve, to ensure its success.
