Sarawak, also known as ‘Land of the Hornbills’ is the largest state in Malaysia. It is situated on the island of Borneo. The state borders Sabah to the northeast and Indonesia to the South. It is known for having expansive forest reserves that are filled with unique flora and fauna.

People say that Sarawak got its name from the Sarawak River, which flows through the capital city of Kuching. The state also houses the longest river in Malaysia called the Rajang River. Sarawak is very diverse in culture and ethnicities. It consists of many tribal groups such as the Dayak, Iban, Bidayuh and Melanau. There are about 27 ethnic groups speaking more than 40 different languages and dialects. Most of them still live a traditional lifestyle. On the other hand, there is also a significant population of modern locals living within the cities.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sarawak’s property market has performed relatively well compared to other states. It is one of the few that saw stable growth in the midst of the crisis. It is predicted to do even better this year with the potential growth of landed residential units and agricultural lands. Moreover, property prices are also expected to improve as the economy starts reopening again. The state has the third highest residential property prices in Malaysia. Landed homes are the most popular choice of property in Sarawak with a growing interest in high-end condominiums.

In many images representing Sarawak, you will find prominent images of the Rhinoceros Hornbill. This is because it is the state bird of Sarawak. The hornbill serves as a cultural symbol for the spirit of God. There is a belief that if you see a hornbill fly over your house, it is a sign of good fortune for your household.

Sarawak has plenty of gorgeous sights to explore. Immerse yourself in tropical wildlife by trekking at the Bako National Park and Gunung Mulu National Park. There are so many interesting plants and animals here that you probably have never seen before. If you’re a cat lover, you cannot miss the Cat Museum in Kuching. It is the first museum in the world to be dedicated to all things feline. For history enthusiasts, we recommend visiting the Sarawak Museum, Fort Margherita and Borneo Culture Museum.
