Sarawak

Sarawak () is one of the two Malaysian states on the island of Borneo. It is also one of the founding members of the Malaysian federation alongside North Borneo (Sabah), Singapore (expelled in 1965) and the Federation of Malaya (Peninsula Malaysia or West Malaysia). This territory has an autonomous law especially in immigration, which differentiates it from the rest of the Malaysian Peninsula states. Today, the state is known as ''Bumi Kenyalang'' ("Land of the Hornbills").
Sarawak is situated on the northwest of Borneo, bordering the state of Sabah to the northeast Indonesia to the south, and surrounding the independent state of Brunei. The administrative capital is Kuching, which has a population of 700,000.〔(2006 census; Kuching City South – 143,500; Kuching City North – 133,600; Padawan- 3rd Mile/ 7th Mile/ 10th Mile – 302,800)〕 Major cities and towns include Miri, Sibu, and Bintulu. As of the last census (2010), the state population was 2,471,140.
== Etymology ==
The official explanation of the word Sarawak is that it is derived from Sarawak Malay word of ''serawak'' which means antimony. Another popular but unofficial explanation is that it is derived from the four Malay words purportedly uttered by Pangeran Muda Hashim, "''Saya serah pada awak''" (I surrender it to you) when he gave Sarawak to James Brooke in 1841. However, such explanation has several flaws because the territory already named Sarawak even before the arrival of James Brooke and the word ''awak'' never existed in the vocabulary of Sarawak Malay before the Malaysian federation.
