Miri - 98000 - Sarawak - Borneo


Went in forum, bump into a thread where a new member from west Malaysia asked ‘is miri a place?”

I remember 10 years ago; a west Malaysian school mate showed his interests, trying to gather information about the east from me. I know even today many of them still recognize our place as “Borneo” instead of Sarawak but when we tell them Sabah, they know KK well.

One question from him which I like the most was ‘ eh! then… is Sarawak big or not?”
i answered: “u get a ruler, go measure from the map?”.

I remember many years back while I was studying in 1 of the local technical colleges in KL when a WM student asked me to show him Sarawak currency. I showed him the Ringgit....and he was .....no, that's Malaysian Ringgit. I want to see Sarawak currency...I just ignore him. Then there's one asking me how I get to KL....told him by sampan and we have lift to our tree top house. If he believe....that's his problem
