Truly Sarawak

Introduction to the country, Malaysia. 

Malaysia Map

This is Malaysia, with 2 parts, mainland/peninsular and island.  There is nothing much to talk about about Peninsular Malaysia because they don't live on tree. Sarawak and Sabah are 2 states of Malaysia which is located on Borneo.


Borneo is shared by three countries, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. That small area between Sarawak and Sabah is Brunei. Let's zoom zoom...

Brown area in the map belong to Sabah, while green green is Sarawak.


Do you know that even for Malaysians (non-Sarawakian) entering into Sarawak, have to get an entry stamp, valid only for 3 months?

Example of entry stamp

For non-Sarawakian, when passing through immigration checkpoint between Sipitang and Lawas, remember to stamp out of Sabah once. Then continue to the next booth to get a stamp entering into Sarawak.


At this point, you can truly really experience that Sarawak is special. As if Sarawak is its own country, with its own privilege.
