Correction: Sarawak is divided into 11 administrative divisions, not districts. However, a division is divided into districts.
As a Native Christian Indonesian (Javanese-Minahasan-Tionghoa), I feel so connected in many ways to Native Sarawakian and Sabahan. Happy Sarawak Day
I didnt know much about Sarawak till i started working in Sarawak and immersed in the culture, most ppl from Semenanjung are damn ignorant and talk about diversity but to be honest i think Sarawakians are kind people and most accepting towards diversity.
That is so true that sarawakian know and can speak a lot of different languages and dialects. Me myself can speak at least 10 different dialects and languages. As a sarawakian who migrated to australia for over a decades I still remember my toungue language and great part is I am able to speak to a lot of my Asian patients here in Australia in their language (I'm a nurse and at the hospital i have pretty diverse patients)
Even tho I'm here for many years, sarawak is always close to my heart. I cannot wait to be home again someday ❤ Happy sarawak day to all fellow sarawakian, stay safe xx
Jarang tengok Says:'(
Hello from Saratok😆
The true Malaysia now only exist in Sabah & Sarawak.
They get along in school and playground till the point that everybody understand each other ...
Indeed, but I still love all Malaysians equally, regardless from Borneo or Semenanjung.
Tipu
@@enricoaldisuhanto4046 I too love all Malaysians but the Malaysia now is different when I was a teenager. Those days we played with all races & regarded all as friends. Now you will not see that but more of one race playing among their own.
@@RB-rp6ud Yup , It is a sad reality , but Dont Get me wrong, because i believe that there is still a Way To fix this, and need Full participation from all of Malaysians to Make this issues will not come back for long time.
I love SARAWAK from Philippines. They're friendly people and good people.
We love Philippines too! From Sarawak malaysia
Happy Independence Day to all of the Sarawakians viewers ❤️
though i have never been there be4, its always in my bucket list to visit them one day (maybe after this pandemic is over,,, hopefully🤞)
To all Sarawakians, Happy Independence Day!
Bestnya...saya sangat jeles dgn anda semua,...warna warni
Don't like that la we all malaysian😊
Sarawak Independence from Malaysia
Semoga Sarawak terus maju dan harmoni sentiasa. Kekalkan budaya positif & toleransi anda, dan sebarkan, terutama ke Malaya!.
Salam dari Malaya 😊
Terima Kasih, kalau datang ke Sarawak, info info ye... ☺️
“SARAWAK *TERPALING* EVERYTHING” UNDERRATED COMMENT.
But before SEMENANJUNG TERRREVERYTHING also what? ..
@@user-sb2bu5mi4s WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO ARGUE WITH ME?
Periodt.
In my opinion, If Sarawak was a INDEPENDENT country, it would be like New Zealand, ( for example, Like the NZ has two culture Anglo-maori, so Sarawak will had a anglo-sarawakian culture too) And most people in Sarawak should adopted English as official language, and Iban will be the language of rural areas, the official religion of Sarawak will be Christian, the Sarawak would be called "Federal democratic Republic of the Sarawak"
If our state became a Independent nation, we'll have a great maintain relationship with other southeast Asian countries, Why? Because Sarawak is a Brunei/British ex colony, They gave us independent, after that British want to merge our state into Malaya, Our currency gonna be Dollars or pound thats gonna be the best thing for among Sarawakian,Tbh, I'm so sorry for Offended every Malaysian who live in Peninsular, but that's my opinion, stay safe everyone :) 🙏

Love sarawak and Sabah... from selayang....🥰🥰 my wife also orang sabah...👍👍
Best lah Sarawak. Best Borneo. Happy Merdeka day Sarawak? (Actually i still confused, why 1 country have more Independence day. Maybe any others from Sarawak or Malaysia can explain to me. Cuz, i curious to know that). Berharap suatu saat nanti bisa berkunjung ke Sarawak. Salam dari satu pulau. Banjar, South Kalimantan. Indonesia.
Because of the history...
Karna Sarawak merdeka pada 22 juli 1963, Sabah 31 Agustus 1963, Malaya 31 Agustus 1957.
Jadi ketiga-tiga wilayah tersebut setuju bersatu pada 16/9/1963 membentuk negara Malaysia. 16/9 ialah Hari Malaysia dan hari libur disini. Pemerintah Malaysia setuju menjadikan 22 juli sebagai Hari Sarawak karna mereka merdeka dri Inggris saat itu. Ini adalah sejarah mereka.
Sama di Indo, setau aku Papua merdeka dri Belanda pada Oktober 1962 dan Riau masuk RI pada 17 Agustus 1957. Tapi mereka tetap sambut Merdeka pada 17 Agustus. Nah gitulah sejarahnya.
@@Sky-bi4zc Oalahhh. Paham". Cuman, kalau di Indonesia. Setau aku juga. Gak ada peringatan hari kemerdekaan selain tanggal 17 Agustus. Nah, kalau hari jadi (Anniversary) suatu daerah. Baru ada. Misalnya, Hari jadi Kota (Bandar) Jakarta. Hari jadi Kota Banjarmasin. Hari Jadi Provinsi Papua. Dan lain-lain. Maka dari itu, sedikit bingung. Ternyata ada history sendiri ya di Sarawak dan negeri Malaysia lainnya. Happy Sarawak Independence Day bro!
@@muhamadhanafi2194 Mungkin kerana Malaysia ada sebuah negara federasi berbanding Indonesia yang sebuah negara republik. Sesetengah wilayah di Malaysia seperti Sabah dan Sarawak mempunyai kuasa autonomi yang melebihi kerajaan federal
@Jee Wei king tidak benar
22jul 1963 adalah Hari dimana Gabenor British terakhir meninggalkan Kuching.
Sarawak ketika ITU Masih jajahan British.
Hai, Wei Shen.... I feel sarawak truly Asia. Not yet Sabah story I wanted to hear ...I like the review of the video
Selamat Hari Sarawak. Ngarapka Sarawak Mansang Salalu
Goshhh… love this so much from SAYS so far…
I hope that i can travel to Sarawak😭
Kamek tengok video tok best bah keep it up
Happy independence day Sarawak~~
Happy independence day to all the Sarawak people🎊🎉🎉🎊
One friend speaking melayu sarawak and the other speaking Iban and we still understand each other. That's SARAWAK FOR YOUUU!
True I have lots of Iban friend I can't speak there language well but I still can understand what are they telling us
Wow Kapit represent 💓
Good job!!!...😁😁🤗

i'm a from central Borneo
Happy Sarawak Day 2021...to all Sarawakians..
Selamat Hari Sarawak❤️🇲🇾
Sarawak is amazing! Oooooo haaaaaaaaaa!
I am so proud to be Sarawakian and also have a lot type of cultures and races, don't forget to tradisional food, taboos of different religions and so on.Thanks for Says for recommendations about Sarawakian.
I think so many Malaysian still dont understand about our precious Sarawak and Sabah. We need to learn more and appreciate more. Teringin nak ke Sarawak and Sabah!
It takes two to tango
Teringin nak pergi sarawakkkk
Happy Sarawak day to all sarawakian including me 😆stay safe and take care
good info
I think one amazing thing about Sarawakians is that despite everyone knowing that Taib Mahmud had been involved in rampant and devastating deforestation (among other things), they still vote his party and let him be Chief Minister for the longest time...
As a chinese Sarawakian, you got to know a little bit of Iban. Thats for sure.
"Divisions" are not called "districts", Kim. And those things are called monument. Bukan statue.
pau buntong is the bestttt omg now i miss kapit
Semenanjung ppl (NOT ALL) yg sllu cakap urg Sarawak ddk atas pokok tu, urs welcome to Sarawak..
In my view, me as a Sarawakian I feel that We need to teach and spread awareness to the whole Sarawak about July 22 as our Independence Day and how we fought for our freedom from the British Colonial Empire.
Because I feel that some Of my fellow Sarwakians including the young generation are still kind of confused by these 3 dates. They still think August 31st is the independence of Malaysia(including Sarawak) in which we had nothing to do with at all. In my opinion I think it would be better if August 31st was not public holiday in Sarawak lah. We had too many holidays and I felt like that should be scrapped and only be celebrated in Semenanjung aka Malaya cuz it is reasonable that Sarawak was not independent on 31st August 1957. Again, it’s my opinion. XD
Hiyah, can’t blame them lah, it is all because of our Malayan curriculum textbooks trying to brainwash the young generation of Sarawakians until they forget their own history and why Our state and Sabah has special rights in the MA63 that no other state in the peninsular could have.
In fact, we Sarawak and Sabah are not supposed to be states at all. We should be equal Partners within the Federation of Malaysia. That’s we are trying to restore our status by trying to change to Wilayah to reflect the true nature of these two states.
Hmmm

No need to be rude.
In all honesty, July 22, 1963 was the day the last Governor of Sarawak left Kuching.
But still Sarawak Was British colony.
And in all honesty, Sarawak and Sabah are equal to other states.
No such thing as position of Sabah and Sarawak are higher than other states.
While it is good to be proud of Sarawak heritage, you too must embrace Aug 31, 1957.
Just like USA.
It declared independence on Jul 4, 1776. Many states joined USA much later.
But they still accord reepsrct to 4 Jul 1776
@@shamshulanuar7718 she wasn’t being rude. She was being truthful. And besides, the holiday was not declared until 2016.
@@joshuawatson3054 she is not being truthful.
Speaking frankly does not mean you speak truthfully.
Why on earth the declaation of Malaysia mentioned about the sovereignty of Queen Elizabeth 11ended on 16Sept 1963 for Sabah, Sarawak And Singapore.
Because before 16sept 1963these 3 territories were still British colonies
@@joshuawatson3054 Marissa accuse Malaysians are brainwashed.
That is a serious allegation.
Of course I am aware sizable segment of one particular community in Sarawak harbours the idea for Sarawak to leave Malaysia.
Leaving Malaysia means they will get total control of the state.

Happy Sarawak Independent Day
Hahah Salam Dari Sarawak💕
Salam dari Uma Baha, Belaga
I miss my kampung. 😥
What makes sarawak great??? The people itself...
In Kapit, the Malay and Chinese when they meet each other they will speak in Iban..and it's like the Iban language is our main language here...
heloo from batu kawa
Puteri santubong & puteri sejinjang from Sarawak
ni urg Batang Igan ...Sibu
Is that majority sarawak can speak english fluency
english was still official language for sarawak goverment untill now.

7:34 Interestingly i have never heard the 'misconception' of Sarawakian still tinggal atas pokok from non-Sarawakian. In fact, the only time I heard it was always from the Sarawakian themselves who tried to 'debunk' it. My point is, since no one is talking bout the 'misconception' (at least from my experience), why feel the need to bring it up ?
I think she just sharing her experience dealing with misconception about people of Sarawak...which some people thought that she still live on the tree
@@timmy7138I think you're not getting my point... it's not bout her sharing it.. it's bout the 'misconception'... I don't think it was never a thing... So don't try to make it a thing... it has become so repetitive to a point that it's almost like petty (for lacking a better word)
@@ariffaizad695 I don't understand? Why you have issue with that misconception? Are you saying those are not exist?
@@timmy7138 don't get me wrong...I myself has never heard it (from non-Sarawakian)... even IF it is true that that particular miscon exist... I don't see the need to keep bringing it up... Sarawakian are so much better than that... I don't see why they need to be conscious of what others think bout where they still live in...
@@ariffaizad695 From my pov, the misconception of still living in the tree is like thinking that Sarawak people still live in poverty/not progressing/kampung/tiada pembangunan, which I think that sounds rude. Maybe some people didn't take it to their heart, but some people take it to their heart. Everyone different I guess. But hey, thats their experience la.
This is like me Malaysian went to US country and US people ask what misconception I have been dealing with, I would answer some of the look that I get like I'm gonna suicide bomb them lol. But thats my experience la. Only if people ask me, I would answer. I wouldn't bring that up if no one ask me (this is me just sharing, just ignore if its annoying to you haha. Apologized in advance)
So yeah, if anyone (not only Sarawak people) share their misconception they have been dealing with, I would take it as lesson and learn the right way to address the issue. Even its same one. Thats what I feel la.
Sokong Sabah Sarawak keluar malaysia, Malaysia semakin teruk ni masih tido haizzz
Mana ada cringe Syl. Okay je. Tapi kenapa tak tutup switch box wifi.
takut ada interference, justeru terhasilnya superposition yang barangkali menjejaskan sambungan Wi-Fi saya
Zaman dulu nama Sarawak lebih dikenali dr malaya. Malaya hanya dijadikan sumber kewangan penjajah. Harap Sarawakian tidak terasa hati dgn individu ignorant dr semenanjung. Peace ya.
