Tourist Spots and Shopping Malls in Kuching
Sarawak, the largest state in Malaysia, is one of two states situated on the island of Borneo, which is famous for its orangutans. Sarawak was ruled by the British from 1842 until its independence in 1963 when it joined Malaya, Sabah and Singapore to form Malaysia. In 1965, Singapore separated from Malaysia to become an independent nation.
The population of Sarawak is comprised of Malays, Chinese, Indians, Eurasians and a number of native Dayak tribes like the Iban, Bidayuh, Melanau, Penan, Kedayan and Orang Ulu. The presence of these tribal people makes Sarawak a unique state, as each tribe has its own culture, language, food and traditions that are not found in other parts of Malaysia.
The capital city of Sarawak is Kuching, the largest city in Borneo. The locals here fondly called their city Cat City because 'Kuching' means 'cat' in Malay. The climate here is that of a tropical rainforest—hot and very humid most of the time. Though the city is small, it is the main holiday destination in Sarawak because it has many interesting places to see and visit.
