Borneo is a very special island and Sarawak is oneof the gem of Borneo island.
Sarawak fortunate to have the largest caves in the world, the MULU caves. 27 million years ago that part of sarawak was under the sea. Swift sea water current ran through the place and eventually tunneled the caves. It is just miracle.
It is simple to use on line internet and enjoy the view of MULU caves.
In Sarawak, the long history of civilization dated back to many years ago, which include the influence of Ancient china, India with Hindus ornaments found and there are numerous proven archaelogical sites that presented the great era of ancient empire. then come the rule from Brunei . Admiral Chen Ho of Ming Dynasty of China travelled to Brunei with 28,000 navy and 100+ shipd , including the giant flag ship that carried 3000 people including navy, doctors( there were 300 medical doctors serving the fleet, the doctors task include not only curing crews sickness, and their assignment include preventive medicine, promote health and well being.

'Honey, this is great, look this cmaera is so light as compare to the old junk left behind by your late father.'
The gentleman is the youngest of the 10 children and his late father was born in the year1918. that was the time of prosperous and fortune and Sarawak was very modern in that period as the rich people use the most modern gears.
