Golden land, Sarawak, Chapter 23
Golden Land, Chapter 23 , Strong Hill - Strong man
'I went to Immigration Department yesterday and met this diligent guy
who completed more than double of passport application cases as compare to the privilege group.'
Mr. S M Bong sounded very proud and happy. It was like he had done a patriotic act to Sarawak.
"Have you observed a man who is six foot tall ?" I teased him.
' Many women would fall in love with this type of handsome, hardworking man.
Oh yes, he has a charming smile.' Mr. Bong is keen to observe the natural beauty
of this world recently.
In this golden land, where people used to live together with many different type of races,
various skin colours, people from all corners fo the world, friends speaking in absolutely different
languages. the languages differed so much in a way that lovers finally used the most
way--use the common language, English.
It is not a problem at this modern day to translate various type of languages such as Swedish
to English, also easy with experts help with modern computer tool to achieve
a true and lovely stories in all languages.
That is the modern status of Sarawak, the golden land. People of Sarawak is all over the world now.
With the special advantage of multilingual, people of Sarawak traveled through out the whole world
.
There are experts in Spanish language, many work in Germany, Russia, Italy, France.
Speaking of France, almost all my friends think of perfume and wonderful LV ( Louis Vuiton)
leather bags. It is so attractive that a friend Mr. M Chai laughed when his wife bought 5
LV bags on the spot.
Mr. S. M. Bong interrupted my day dream as he happily raised his voice and he said,
' Rajah, King James Brooke was not a king yet when he sent his men to help the Gagoi village
near Bau town.'
' Due to historical war tradition.' Mr. bong tried to to put himself at a neutral position, as if he is sitting
on a tall wall watching 2 gangs fighting.' The Iban warriors attacked the Bidayu late 1838. that is why the strongest soldiers, fighters of the Bidayu tribe franked the head man and retreated to
Gagoi hill.'
'It is possible that the English fighters and the leaders of James Brooke respected the
Bidayu heros and suggested the name Mr. Hill to one of the strong fighters who save their chief
from being decapitated by the Iban warriors.'
" Was it true that three thousand three hundred people killed in a day with long knives
of Iban ? where on earth they got the knives" I asked hastilily as I was puzzled by the
stronger weapons demonstrated by the Iban group in 1838.
'They made their own parang, long knives. even today they still make wonderful sharp knives
but I bought small knife for my kitchen and garden. Good knives are frequently stolen.'
"Do you mean they are capable of making their own steel ? "
' There is a place at the foot of the hill of Damai Santubong, where an old man lives
alone for more than 60 years, His wooden house which he reparied frequently is
few hundred years old made of iron wood, Billian wood poles structure. He told me that
his ancester made wonderful steel with iron ore shipped in from China.'
Bong added.
" Why they did not import iron ore from Australia, England, Sweden ?" I tried to test him
by more question.
'You must be kidding, trade established for thousand of years between Sarawak and China.
Do you remember the name Sarawak is originated from Chinese working on
Antimony metal in Sarawak.'
I was happy with his answer. I thought of Mr. Hill, the hard working,handsome,strong and fit fellow at the Kuching Immigration department. Good people are precious resources of Sarawak, no wonder this is a golden land.

Golden Land, Sarawak, Chapter 22
Golden Land , Sarawak, chapter 22 Power Distance Index
Sarawak is very rich in natural resources.
Rajah, King James Brooke fought pirates and achieved disappearance of
physical pirates. With the modern technology, computerization, automation,
robots usage, internet utilization and multiple methods of transportation, more than\ninety percent of the wealthy resources are taken by extremely powerful government 'leaders'.
Mr. S. M. Bong told me to travel and see our lovely world.
' Go to Europe, North east Asia, IndoChina, South Pacific, Oceania and see with your own eyes and compare the situation of lovely democracy and in contrast with some countries
which is a sort of modern slavery.'
''What do you mean by modern slavery ?'' I asked Mr. S. M. Bong
' You live at your own house yet you cannot have any say if a powerful
government tried to use the name of government devepment plan and kick you out of your house .'
Bong gave an example.
' For example, a round of 12 inches cheese Tiramisu cakes is on the table to symbolize
the total wealth for all the people. The crooked powerful leader of leaders took away 90% and a dozen of
household members have to share the remnant small piece of Tiramisu. You are one of them.'
smiled and nodded his head at me to signify that : I told you so
Sarawak, ibnspite of all the gold and riches, is within the worst power Distance index.
'' What do you mean by Power Distance Index ? "
Bong smiled proudly at me as if he had won the battle of knowledge gaining race against me.
' Power distnace index disclosed that Sarawak, a state of Malaysia is the worst in the world
of people starving from all resources, including wealth, health facilities and all services because there is a group that taken away the majority of the resources and what left behind is just peanuts.'
" that remind me of the ex president who is dealing with peanut--Ex president Carter. I met another gentleman who is the high commissioner of New Zealand to Cook Islands, and his name is Mr. John Carter."
Bong said, ' I am telling you a serious situation and an important matter yet you are making fun of my
knowledgeable remarks.'
" Please explain in simple term the meaning of power Distance index, the word index usually scarced
away our innocent natural abilility to pay attention and retain interest in the topic."
S. M. Bong sighed and stretched out his both arms pointing towards the sky and did his stretching exercise, and he continued, ' A high ranking officer with bought title Mr. so and so and his wife
Datin so and so cheated by sales of land to the govennent port authority and tax payers
money all ruined, that is only one of the numerous example of ' tolerance' or impotence of the
people in term of asking for their human right, basic survival right.'
" Do you indicate the Cow Farm incidence of Malaysia ? is that a good example of using tax payer money to start a public people's project of raising animals, yet the money was taken by the appointed manager and used the money for five stars own resorts dwelling and more over, used public money for her own enjoyment. ?"
He expressed broad smile like the tail of peacock, and he said,'' Just read from the google search through the internet, then you will surely enjoy reading,knowing the wonderful work of a special group of people
in Malaysia, especially in Sarawak--the golden land.

Golden Land, sarawak, Chapter 19 , Detectives
There is a legend about detective Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. I would
like to share the most possible source of the characters link to Kuching, sarawak.
One of the link most likely is the great name, Alfred R Wallace, who was great even
though he had only completed part of junior high school education due to unfortunate
event happened to his family financial situation.
Let me tell you more..........
Golden land, Sarawak, Chapter 19 Detective, Dr. Walllace
31 years old is considered a very young age for a great scientist
like Alfred R Wallace.
He was a gentle giant helping to put Sarawak, the golden land
vividly on the map of the world. It is the brand new era of human
history now as the internet is just at your finger tip. Just click on
google search and type the word Alfred R Wallace Sarawak then,
the photo of the great naturalist is right in front of us.
Girl friend of King James Brooke of Sarawak Angela) used to visit
a villa at the Siniawan mountain. The same mountain is the
favorite of Alfred R Wallace, who worked diligently to display
the best possible picture of evolution of man kind and living
kingdom.
The more I read about Alfred R Wallace, the more I admired him.
No Wonder many other scientist honoured him by such great
mark like Wallace crater on the moon.
Sea trench of Wallace is another one of numerous example of
proof of admirers who happily put his name on the physical existance
of the world, earth, and the whole Cosmos.
His great idea will live for ever. I find peace whenever I read his
book. Just the kind of love for nature that is as free as Oxygen
that we breath every day.

Golden Land - Sarawak , Chapter 21 , Antimony
Golden Land - Sarawak , Chapter 21 , Antimony
' Have you ever received a medal from any school sport or academic competition ?' Bong asked me
after have short noon nap. Sleeping for 15 minutes around 13 hours is his habit, and if the noon nap habit was disturbed, he would complained of headache. The headache then rendered him total whole body weakness.
That remind me of the story of Second King, Charles Brooke inviting 3,000 immigrants from MeiSiang, China
after he saw women working in vegetable farms at 12 noon. Sir Charles Brooke didnot know that most women group work more than man among people from that area. Men usually enjoy sports,reading, playing music, window shopping
while women work in the farms and all kinds of work.
The women workers also contributed their full power among Hakka gold mining and Antimony mining.
Antimony is a pretty silvery blue metal, which exist in different forms. Just like fantastic Borneo lizards that
changed skin colour and adapted to the environment.
The metal Antimony appears poetic to the miners whose fore fathers travelled thousands of mile from China to
Sarawak. They loved Antimony.
The answer to Mr. S M Bong's question is affirmative. All of us have the experience of getting the super light
championship cup in school recently. There are many competitions such as singing, caligraphy and hundreds of
other events to offer prizes for all of us, since we all have certain tallents.
The true gold and silver cup of the past has been replaced by modern man made pretty shields and cups. All those glitters usually not gold nor silver at present time. I asked Bong why he suddenly showed interest in
championship cups.
' Antimony is a beautiful metal used by Chinese for many years. The largest reserve and the major world producer till today is still the Chinese miners and business group. The rare metal is useful for thousands of products including getting rid of parasites.'
Mr. Bong is trying to tell me story of loving Latin source of the name Antimony which means joined
together, may be as powerful as a loving couples and cannot usually exist single to be useful. The rare metal
'married' lead and created a very strong new metal for magically economic acid lead battery.
' The Tong-Dong and Musi area of Sarawak is full of Antimony,' Bong boasted again'The miners in the golden days
got good harvest, fetched handsome price and gave the miners wonderful poetic living standard in Saerawak.'
' San-ko literally means folklore-country or mountain songs by the Hakka people of Sarawak'
' Why the local Bidayu tribes names the rare metal Antimony as Sarawek ?' Bong is trying to be naughty
by questioning me to raise his self pride.
'The San-ko mountain songs by the Kajinchew Hakka people is always romatic and practical' Bong didnot wait for my answer. ' The metal shine like whitish blue moon in the flowing water of the Antimony factory day and night.'
Bong visualized the moon-lit Sarawak River and the churning musical rythm of the water wheel, lady workers
and miners duet singing.
From the sandy water the precious rare metal were seperted as the gentle water cleanse softly through the
multiple fifty feet long wooden trays.
' Ahh- Moi --Ooooh Sa-rau-yet ho lian moi-tze lay------' Bong is singing as if he were there during mining in
the antimony mines in the 18th century.
The Hakka people said the poetic moon in the water as they scooped the sand away.
' Sa-rau-yet the spoken by the native Bidayu and some Malay workers sound like Sarawek, which is the name
given to the Antimony, then the name of the river Sarawak, thus the name of the whole area Sarawak.'
I questioned him the origin of the name of Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak today. Bong immediately said i
it is nothing related to cat. Cats never survive in Sarawak, Borneo tropical jungle just like lion never live in
Sarawak.
' Kuching city was known as Sarawak during Makota time, which was directly ruled by the sultan of Brunei.'
Bong nodded his head and looked straight into my eyes.
'Neat the present Hilton hotel there were many fruit tree called Mata Kuching,andabeautiful little
river flowed through the front of present TuaPeKong temple is known as Kuching river thus the name Kuching was a little plot of area near present Hilton hotel.'
That sound Romatic as Bong telling his story of Sarawak people with the ancient events of special group of
Ka-zin-Chew Hakka which literally means guest people as Hakka are originally from Henan area of northern China.
thousand of years ago they could have moved like Moses moving around middle east, Hakka people moved
around China and throughout the whole world searching for sunshine,water and peace.
the ancient language Hakka people using today is a living fossil hich indicate the link with China history if not the world history for thousands of years.
' The city centre of Seoul of Korea is pronounced exactly the same as the Hakka language and it means
the Shallow bird's cave.' Bong is telling me what he has experienced in his tour and study experience.
'Sarawak is truely a golden land. that is why James Brooke finally came to Sarawak to fulfil his dream
of making himself a king from a retired private soldier. He dreamed grand and beautiful. He must have dreamed
of peace and love too.' Bong continued
'His pretty girl friend Angela travlled thousand of mile by lousy boats from England to love him, cherish him in Sarawak, now Kuching.' Then I asked him whether his home town Siniawan is the true site where James Brooke's girl friend enjoyed life with flowers, music around the villa built by James Brooke to showed gratitude to his beautiful girl friend.
' It is a pitty that only the huge stone could provide a guessing site for that romatic bungalow for Angela and King James Brooke. The area was not taken care of and that could be the reason why James Brooke arranged his burial site at Sheepstor of Southern England where he rest inpeace for ever.' Bong mentioned the site of burial site of all 3 Kings of Sarawak, where I have visited personally paid my respect in 1981.
King James Brooke was always in danger due to numerous pirates and enemy who claimed their 'right to get rich'. I asked bong whether King James Brooke loved Angela and did Angela loved Rajah James Brooke. Bong surprised me for the first time and he said
' I do'nt know.'
After James Brooke fought bravely in Burma and wounded badly. He was rewarded with a large sum of money which might never compensate his loss of health including serious wound over lower part of his body and alleged limb injury and related sexually impotence.
' A friend in need is a friend indeed.'Bong spoke to me with firm voice.
'James Brooke wrote to Angela starting with''My dear little box'' and he indicated the hardship of Sarawak people, the dangerous pirates, sad slaves trade conducted by the governor Makota, then Angela sent money to James Brooke.
She was not very rich during that time, yet she resposed and helped James Brooke immediately.'
' All the time there was danger, yet they found peace in the jungle villa house at Siniawan Mountain. The same villa housed the great doctor Wallace, the naturalist and the honest scientist who completed the initial sketches of Sarawak natural life forms and beauty. Love and peace must be always presented as a natural gift to James Brooke.'
Bong is talking as if he was dreaming again. The beautiful silvery blue Antimony rare metal always transformed and
alloyed with other loving partner and achieved stronger dream with peace and love. Antimony, the origin of
Sarawak.

goloden Land -- Sarawak , Chapter 20 , Opium
Opium is the recent name used for a perfume for lady advertised months ago. It signify addiction, mysterious and yet there is a frightening link with modern seduction to self focusing yet unaware of the meaning of true image of nature and the surrounding environment.
Golden Land -- Sarawak , Chapter 20 , Opium
It is fascinating to see how a well known substance used scientifically
for medical purpose has been used by human being. Again the modern internet let us share the wonderful
immediate switch of time from ancient to modern time in term of
virtual abstract idea sharing.
those who have empathy would be able to feel how Opium abuser
felt with the empty period without the anti-depression effect of Opium.
Mr. S M Bong is knowledgeable. He told me what he learned from all
sources about the Opium of Sarawak and the Pium force of the world.
S M Bong said ' England merchants definately earned alot from Opium.'
'What they have earned or robed from innocent people benefit them for many years and even
significantly added to their wealthy status till today.'
I kept quiet as he gave that lecture to me. I admired brave people like Prime minister
William Ewart Gladstone of England who led the Liberal government and
suppressed the Opium trade as late as 1893. It was a tough job to redirect a powerful evil trade.
The brave soul found 'peace' admist war against evil Opium abusing group.
There were many people among the East India company of England who opposed
excessive selling of Opium to our lovely people of the whole world, including the
people of China.
Opium war broke out and Chinese people as a whole suffered most due to
poison of this Opium substance.
It definately affected the emotional status of the gold miners who were mainly
Hakka from Chinese origin. The damage done by the Opium war affected the livelihood of
the gold miners of Siniawan, Mausan( Bau today)and people of Sambas.
S M Bong raised his voice.' It was very tough during the Opium war for Chinese to find
sufficient food to feed their children.'
'When the expenses increased in sarawak region, the gold miners tried the risky way and fought
war with King James Brooke's army. It was almost a suicidal attempt to fight against the riffles and canons of James Brooke army.'
The whole world is interlinked and there is no exception for Sarawak. Opium, thus indirectly affected Sarawak.
After years of hardwork, Sarawak gradually produced a new generation of peaceful people who
fight for peace though not sit and waiting for peace.
Golden Land -- Sarawak , Chapter 20 , Opium
It is fascinating to see how a well known substance used scientifically
for medical purpose has been used by human being. Again the modern internet let us share the wonderful
immediate switch of time from ancient to modern time in term of
virtual abstract idea sharing.
those who have empathy would be able to feel how Opium abuser
felt with the empty period without the anti-depression effect of Opium.
Mr. S M Bong is knowledgeable. He told me what he learned from all
sources about the Opium of Sarawak and the Pium force of the world.
S M Bong said ' England merchants definately earned alot from Opium.'
'What they have earned or robed from innocent people benefit them for many years and even
significantly added to their wealthy status till today.'
I kept quiet as he gave that lecture to me. I admired brave people like Prime minister
William Ewart Gladstone of England who led the Liberal government and
suppressed the Opium trade as late as 1893. It was a tough job to redirect a powerful evil trade.
The brave soul found 'peace' admist war against evil Opium abusing group.
There were many people among the East India company of England who opposed
excessive selling of Opium to our lovely people of the whole world, including the
people of China.
Opium war broke out and Chinese people as a whole suffered most due to
poison of this Opium substance.
It definately affected the emotional status of the gold miners who were mainly
Hakka from Chinese origin. The damage done by the Opium war affected the livelihood of
the gold miners of Siniawan, Mausan( Bau today)and people of Sambas.

30 Mar 1996 – Sarawak at this time was under the rule of Brunei. Sarawak ... Division) at that time was under a tyrannical Governor named Pengiran Mahkota. In 1826 ... He even took away and sold Land Dayak women and children as slaves. ... They attacked Kuching and the Astana in the early morning of 19th February.
It is nice to have modern internet where good people share the joy of information and fun.
The above quoted message is for my friends to enjoy the cream of the story of Sarawak. Most people
of multiracial community of Sarawak appreciate the peace and rich culture of harmony living of Sarawak.
To love and cherish is the true heart of Sarawakians as they proudly pronounced as the children of mother land Sarawak--the land of gentle, beautiful hornbill.
The slave trade was famous during the rule of Brunei governor in Sarawak.
1840 was the smale period when highly educated people in europe were crying for the sad slavery of the world and the attention focus on helping to abolish remained the hot topic of Europe.
that was the same period of time when Baron Lars Herman Gyllenbard, the Swedish Prime Minister for justice.
There is true photo copy of diary written by James Brooke's officer and the sight of women and innocent little children were kept in cages under the hot tropical sun at the wharf of south bank of Sarawak River near present day Hiton Hotel.
Time seems to fly and the story of preety girl kidnaped and brought to middle east today sound exactly like the story of pretty girl sold as slave during 1840 in sarawak.
James Brooke, the man meant for peace, pirate eradication, slaves liberation came to Sarawak with his 60 canons on board the battle ship Royalist, realised the uprising of all the people( include bidayus and sarawa local Malays) against the slavery rule of Makota was a natural phenomenon: a natural will of power to survive.
Most people behave as if rich people are good people with out much thinking of pride or prejudice.
The historian of political link usually wrote articles in favour of their ' friends'.
The pretty girl slave is always sold at a higher price. that is the common understanding of demand and supply.
