The actual natives here is called Orang Asli (original people), but Malay are Bumiputera (Malaysian with Malay origin). Chinese and Indian together only spans 33% of the population, were used to be called foreigners but now are given citizenship. Recently, some Chinese argued with Malay to not include Bahasa Jawi (a form of Arabic writing) in school textbooks, which lead to some form of hate between races. Most Chinese in Malaysia are educated by government school, so they are expected to understand Malay. But Chinese language is in the curriculum and we do speak in Chinese as well.

There is a little known interesting history of Sarawak in Borneo. In the late 19th century, there was a British adventurer called James Brooke who helped the Brunei Sultan fight off pirates. As gratitude for the effort, the Brunei Sultan gifted the land that is today Sarawak to James Brooke, who became the first "White Rajah" (White King) of Sarawak. So yeah, this British dude sailed halfway around the world on an adventure, fought some pirates, and then became king of the land. The dynasty lasted 3 generations, ending with the Japanese occupation in World War 2. After the war, the Brooke family handed Sarawak over to the British Crown. Sarawak later joined the Malaysian Federation in 1963.

Additional name trivia of Borneo/Kalimantan Cities: 1. Kuching, malaysian city in Borneo is similar to the word "Kucing" which means "Cat" 2. Balikpapan, Indonesian city in Kalimantan can be translated Balik = "Turned" (as in turned upside-down or reversed); Papan = "Board"; Balik Papan = "Turned Board" 3. Palangka Raya, a former new capital candidate of Indonesia means Palangka = Sacred, Raya = Great, Palangka Raya = "Great Sacred Site" 4. Pontianak, Indonesian city in west kalimantan, is said to be similar to Indonesian ghost of Kuntilanak or Malaysian ghost of Pontianak, which means Woman died in childbirth (Puan Mati Beranak, Pon ti anak). Anak in itself also means Child, so whatever the ponti means, it is a city containing the word child.

That island is so diverse, even the languages spoken there counted more than 100 and still counting.

The photo of orangutans babies chillin in a wheelbarrow made my day. Also interesting video.

I love the fact that when James Brooke slowly colonising Sarawak, he bought part of Brunei just to solve a crime case, and that land he bought had remained as part of Sarawak until today

really...? no wonder some Indonesian doesn't believe or doesn't know that Malaysia also have Dayak people.. I often see some comments in social media that Indonesian people accuse us of stealing Dayak culture.. but I believe those Indonesian must not be from Kalimantan.. because there is no way Kalimantan people didn't know about Dayak people in Sarawak.. btw, I'm Dayak from Sarawak..

Hi i'm from east borneo i'm Dayaknese Aborigin of Borneo😁 nice to meet you guys.

Wales, Scotland and England are on the same island. We call it the UK or Britain or that of whichever nation we're in at the time. It's surrounded by water. It's very cold and wet. We call it normal.

In pre-colonial Manila (Philippines), where archaic Tagalog was spoken, it was called Bunlay or Burnay.

But for me, it doesn't seem add up tho. Cuz the phrase "serah kepada awak" is in official Malay. And Sarawakians during that period hasn't accepted Malay as their official language just yet. I can confirm this myself cuz I'm a native malay from Sarawak. Instead, my ancestors used "bahasa melayu sarawak" which is basically, the language spoken by the Bornean Malays (who have little to no relation to the Peninsular Malays). I may not be completely correct though so take this opinion with a grain of salt.
