Sarawak

WE have only one tribe here: Bornean

Forged by Mount Kinabalu and Rajang River. Fed by rice grown under one sun and nourished by the same rains.

Gini bah: 

Our lingua franca flows. Multiple tongues. One family.

Our bloodlines fuse. Multiple ancestries. One pulse.

We carry the wisdom of our ancestors.

Kitak tauk sik?

Here, every system, every structure, is inclusive.

Do not label us as “lain-lain.”

Sini tiada “lain”, Bornean saja.

AFTER listening to points raised by Datuk Robert Lau Hui Yew, a Senator representing Sarawak in the Malaysian Parliament, I found myself deeply contemplating the distinct situations of Sabah and Sarawak. We, in Sabah, share the vital goal of achieving a recognised autonomous state status under MA63, yet his perspective underscored how our distinct histories shape the unique challenges we face today.

Imagine a Borneo where distances fade into whispers, replaced by the rhythmic hum of the Pan Borneo Railway. This transformative project isn't just about steel tracks; it's about weaving a future rich in opportunity, progress, and connection for the people of Borneo.
