** Just something fwded by a friend. Very funny =)
The FICTION
1. Hey, you Sarawak people live in trees? (* I do get this a lot from the ignoramus out there)
YES, we have elevators too...they're really an engineering feat because it's not easy to fit an elevator into a tree.
2. You guys got electric?
Yes, but since cost of transmission is too high due to the geographic barriers, we use independent solar panels and mini turbines scattered all around, they are exactly 30,000 of them!
3. Over there got what car?
We ride wild boar. When the plane arrives at the airport, we take our wild boar and ride it all the way to our tree house.
4. Got road?
No, just jungle trails and a few roads around town.
5. You Ibans still potong kepala?
Yes, we are head hunters. Human brain is the best food. (*I used to get asked this question a lot when I first went to Semenanjung, It used to piss me off but after a while, I kinda pity those poor ignorant souls. Good answer there!)
6. Sarawak is inside Sabah right? (*I wonder what did they get for their Geography?)
No, we are one state, you idiot. Sabah is a town in Sarawak. (* Just joking!)
7. Eh? Sabah and Sarawak not same?
Yes! How many times I have to tell u Sabah is a town in Sarawak.
8. Kuching big?
So-so la...but we have the largest population of stray cats in a city in the world, about 40,000! Why do you think the city is called Kuching.
9. Kuching got many cats la...
YES LA! How many times I have to say?
10. Kuching got Malay?
Duh'… (* Double Duh')
11. Sarawak people can speak English?
No, but we can speak French because we were colonized by the French in the 18th century and then by the aliens in the 19th century, so our local dialect is pretty much based on some alien language that nobody understands. (* Huahahahaha!!!!)
12. Kuching got airport or you use boat go Johor?
Kuching airport is only fit for a Fokker. Since a Fokker cant go so far, we have to use a steamboats, no joking! Steam boat, because Sarawak is so full of timber. Its cheaper than diesel or any other petrol
The REAL FACT (SERIOUSLY)
1. The only state to be ruled by a white Rajah.
2. Sarawak is the largest state in Malaysia.
3. Sarawak supports whole of Malaysia with its own economy (PAY ATTENTION HERE EVERYONE). Now you know how generous Sarawak is! Without Sarawak, there won't be Putrajaya or KLCC. (* I mean Wahhhh!!! I must check this )
4. Sarawak population is 2,176,800. Kuching alone has 458,300 (7th most populated city in Malaysia).
5. There are 27 ethnic groups that speak 45 different languages and dialects.
6. Kuching International Airport hosts a number of direct international flights.
7. Kuching is the most livable city in Malaysia and the 7th most livable city in the world. Even KL is behind at 12th place.
FACT (LIGHTER SIDE)
1. We have electricity
2. In Kuching, we see Mercedes Benz till we want to puke. WE ARE rich people! Honestly, in just one family, the minimum we had are 2 cars.
3. Our guys are handsome and chicks are hot! Very hot!
4. The size of Sarawak is the equivalent of...umm...umm...the size of...umm...big la! (Almost the size of Semenanjung Malaysia, about 124,449.51 square km).
5. Kuching is one of the best cities to live around!
6. Sarawakians are the BEST! *grin*grin*
7. We got lots of good food; Sarawak Laksa, Pansuh Manok, Sarawak Kolo Mee, Chicken Rice, Belacan Beehoon, Bidin & Paku stir fried with belacan and many more.
