Proud to be a Sarawakian!

I have had some interesting questions about Sarawak, Kuching and the Bidayuhs. Let me list down the facts and the fictions of our beloved state.. !
KCH, SWK & MALAYSIAN FICTION
1. Hey, u Sarawak people live in trees ah?

YES, we have elevators too...they're really an engineering feat cos its not ez to fit an elevator into a tree
2. U guys got electric isit?

Yes...but since cost of tranmission 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 wat car?

We ride wild boar. When the plane arrive at the airport, we take our wild boar and ride it all the way to our tree house.
4. Got road mer?

no just jungle trails and a few roads around town
5. U bidayuh from Sulawesi there ha?

yes we are head hunters. human brain is the best food...
6. S'wak is inside Sabah right?

No, were one state u idiot..Sabah is a town in swak
7. Eh?? Sabah n S'wak not same mer?

yes!! how many time i have to tell u Sabah is a town in swak??
8. KCH big ah?

so so la...but we have the largest population of stray cats in a city in the world!!! about 400,00why do u tink they city is called kuching??
9. KCH got many cats la..

YES LA!!!! how many times i have to say?
10. Kuching got Malay?

Durrhhh.....
11. S'wak ppl can speak English?

No..but we can speak french because we were colonized by the French in the 18 century and then by the aliens in the 19 century, so our local dialect is pretty much based on some alien language that nobody understands
12. Kuching got airport or u use boat go Johor?

kuching airport is only fit for a fokker..since a fokker cant go so far..we have to use a steamboat, no joking !! steamboat..cos swak is so full of timber..its cheaper than diesel or any other petrol. All the people in SWK work as farmers, or any other agricultural or horticultural related fields. We don't have tall buildings or sky crippers in the whole of SWK. You can see paddy fields, farm lands everywhere including in Kuching.

The REAL FACT (SERIOUSLY)
1. The only state to be ruled by a white Rajah
2. S'wak is the largest state in M'sia
3. S'wak supports whole M'sia with it's own economy(PAY ATTENTION HERE EVERYONE)now u will know how generous sarawak is !! :) Without S'wak, there won't be Putrajaya or KLCC... UNFORTUNATELY, THIS DEVELOPMENT IS AT THE EXPENSE OF SARAWAKIANS
4. S'wak population is 2,176,800. Kuching has458,300 (7th most populated city in M'sia)
5. There are 27 ethnic groups that speak 45different languages and dialects; 1) Dayaks(Bidayuh and Iban), 2) Melanau and 3) Chinese6. 70% is English Literate
7. KCH International Airport is not as huge as KLCC but it hosts a number of direct international flights.
8. S'wak has never achieved independence. Ruledby Brooke Family, given to the British Empire,offered to M'sia
9. Kuching is the most livable city in M'sia and the 7th most livable city in the world. Even KL is behind at 12th..
