The truth about Sarawak

Clare from Kampua Talk is on a mission to educate the West Malaysians about the truth about Sarawak and she has enlisted 10 Sarawakian bloggers to help her. This is my contribution to her mission.


Q: Oh, you are from Sarawak! *eyes wide with excitement* So far away! How you people come here ah?
Our ancestors flew to Sarawak from Mars in their flying saucers 300 years ago so here we are. Tada!

Q: Oh, like that! So back home, you people live in trees ar?
Yes exactly! You seen Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi onot? There got Ewoks living in the trees, that's how we live.

Q: You guys have electricity or not?
No we don't use electricity coz we don't need it. Everything runs on batteries wan. We have lots of batteries.

Q: Kuching got airport or you use boat go Johor?
We have transporter like in Star Trek where they beam you onto their ships lidat! Its much faster than a plane or boat.

Q: How long if you take bus from Singapore to Kuching?
Depend if the bus can drive on water onot. If can I think less than 1 day enough if you drive quickly coz no traffic jam in the sea!

Q: Over there got what car?
We don't have car there, we all ride bicycles so its better for the environment.

Q: Got road or not?
Got! How do you think we ride our bicycles?

Q: You Bidayuh from Sulawesi there huh?
You got study Geography in skool onot?

Q: Sarawak inside Sabah, right?
Wrong, next.

Q: Eh? Sabah Sarawak not the same meh?
Sabah only got 5 letters but Sarawak has 7 letters, how can be the same?

Q: Kuching how big ar?
Heiyo...verrry big wor! I tried to walk from one end to the other but cannot finish wor!

Q: Kuching got a lot of cats hoh?
Got! And dogs and rats also got!

Q: Sarawak got Malay?
Nolah, we only have Sarawakians there.

Q: Sarawak people can speak English?
Can! We learn from TV mah!

Q: You people from Sarawak use Ringgit?
Nolah, we use Sarawak pound wan wor...1 Sarawak pound equals 400 ringgits. You wanna buy Sarawak pound? Very stable currency, better than US dollars!

Hahaha!
I cant bloody believe this!
I just started a second blog purely in Bahasa Sarawak with bits of English.
And i talked about exactly this!The stereotype of Sarawak/Sarawakians.
Even the contents are almost the same.

I googled 'Sarawakian Bloggers' and found your blog.

Definitely a great read.
Stop over some time.
