Anybody know the meaning of Sarawak ?
Sarawak, the largest state of Malaysia is situated at northern part of Borneo. Separated from the southern Indonesia territory by a mountain range.
A place once known as Darul Hana. That was the time of Brunei kingdom before 1841. Brunei people called this area Darul Hana translated as land of perfection.
Yes. Land of perfection. A place even rare mineral Antimony is available. Local river folks called Antimony Sarawek. It was used by Chinese from China( export item and great revenue gained from this trade beside gold)for making stainless steel ( ancient version)
So Sarawak got its name from the soft silvery metal Antimony.
How about the boat race. Annual event Regatta of Sarawak= The race for peace
