109 36 and 115 40 E, it makes up 37.5% of the land of Malaysia. Sarawak also contains

large tracts oftropical rain forest home to an abundance of plant and animal species.

Borneo (Kalimantan) by ranges of high hills and mountains that are part of the central

mountain range ofBorneo. These get higherto the north and culminate nearthe source ofthe

Baram River with the steep MountBatu Lawi, Mount Mulu in the Park ofthe same name and

Mount Murud with the highest peakin Sarawak.

The major rivers from the south to the north include Sarawak River, the Lupar River, the

Sari bas River, the Rajang River with 563 km the longest river in Malaysia with the Baleh

River branch, the Baram River, the Limbang River that drains into the Brunei Bay as it

divides the two parts ofBrunei and the Trusan Riverthat also flows into the BruneiBay.The

Sarawak river 2459k2 in area and is the main river flowing through Kuching(the capital).

Sarawak can be divided into three natural regions. The coastal region is ratherlow lying flat

country with large extents of swamps and other wet environments. The hill region provides

most ofthe easily inhabited land. Most ofthe larger cities and towns have been built in this

region. As the swamps make up much of the coast, the ports of Kuching and Sibu have been

built some distance from the coast on rivers, while Bintulu and Miri are close to the coast at

the only places thatthe hills stretch rightto the China Sea. The third region is the mountain

region along the border and with the Kelabit and Murut highlands in the north.

HISTORY

The eastern seaboard ofBorneo had been charted (though never settled) by the Portuguese in

the early 16th century. The area oftoday's Sarawak was known to Portuguese cartographers

as Cerava. Sarawak had been a loosely governed territory under the control of the Brunei

Sultanate in the early 19th century, although for a brief time in the early 17th century

Sarawak was self-governed underits first and last Sultan, Sultan Tengah. During the reign of

Pangeran Indera Mahkota in 19th century, Sarawak was in chaos citation needed. Sultan

Omar Ali Saifuddin II (18271852), the Sultan ofBrunei, ordered Pangeran Muda Hashim in

1839 to restore order and it was during this time that James Brooke arrived in Sarawak.

Pangeran Muda Hashim initially requested assistance but James Brooke refused. In 1841,

James Brooke paid another visitto Sarawak and this time he agreed to assist. Pangeran Muda

Hashim signed a treaty in 1841 surrendering Sarawak and Sinian to James Brooke.

Thereafter, on 24 September 1841, Pangeran Muda Hashim bestowed the title Governor to

James Brooke. He effectively became the Rajah of Sarawak and founded the White Rajah

Dynasty of Sarawak, later extending his administration through an agreement with the Sultan

ofBrunei.

Brooke was appointed Rajah by the Sultan of Brunei on August 18, 1842; originally this

territory wasjustthe western end of later Sarawak, around Kuching. He ruled Sarawak until

his death in 1868. His nephew Charles Anthoni Johnson Brooke became Rajah after his

death; he was succeeded on his death in 1917 by his son, Charles Vyner Brooke, with a

provision that Charles should rule in consultation with his brotherBertram Brooke. The

territory was greatly expanded under the Brooke dynasty, mostly at the expense of areas

nominally under the control ofBrunei. In practice Brunei had only controlled strategic river

and coastal forts in much of the lostterritory, and so most ofthe gain was atthe expense of

Muslim warlords and ofthe de facto independence oflocaltribes.

The Brooke dynasty ruled Sarawak for a hundred years and became famous as the "White

Rajahs", accorded a status within the British Empire similar to that of the rulers of Indian

princely states. In contrast to many other areas of the empire, however, the Brooke dynasty

was intent on a policy of paternalism to protect the indigenous population against

exploitation. They governed with the aid of the Muslim Malay and enlisted the Ibans and

other "Dayak" as a contingent militia. They also encouraged the immigration of Chinese

merchants but forbade the Chinese to settle outside oftowns in orderto minimize the impact

on the Dayak way of life. They also established the Sarawak Museum, the first museum in

Borneo.

In the early part of 1941 preparations were afootto introduce a new constitution, designed to

limit the power of the Rajah and give the people of Sarawak a greater say in government.

Despite this democratic intention, the draft constitution contained defects and improprieties,

not least by reason of a secret agreement drawn up between Charles VynerBrooke and his

top government officials, by which he was to be financially compensated forthis gesture out

oftreasury funds.

Japan invaded Sarawak and occupied the island of Borneo in 1941, occupying Miri on

December 16 and Kuching on December 24, and held it for the duration of World War II

until the area was secured by Australian forces in 1945. The Rajah, Charles VynerBrooke,

formally ceded sovereignty to the British Crown on July 1, 1946, under pressure from his

wife among others. In addition the British Government offered a healthy pension to sweeten

the negotiations. His nephew Anthony continued to claim sovereignty as Rajah of Sarawak.

After the end of the Second World War, Anthony Brooke then opposed the cession of the

Rajah's territory to the British Crown, and was associated with anti-secessionist groups in

Sarawak. Anthony was banished from the country. He was allowed to return only seventeen

years later, when Sarawak became part of the Federation of Malaysia. Sarawak became a

British colony (formerly an independent state under British protection) in July 1946, but

Brooke's campaign continued. The M
