Sarawak (Jawi:سراواك) is one of the two Malaysian states on the island of Borneo. Known as Bumi kenyalang ("Land of the Hornbills"), it is situated on the north-west of the island. It is the largest state in Malaysia; the second largest, Sabah, lies to the northeast.
The administrative capital is Kuching (pop. 458,300 in 2000) which literally means 'cat' (Kucing). Major cities and towns also include Sibu (pop. 200,000), Miri (pop. 202,000) and Bintulu (pop. 102,761). As of last census (July 5, 2000), the state population was 2,176,800. For more details about the population see Demographics of Malaysia, though it is interesting to note that Sarawak is by far the most multicultural of the states in the federation of Malaysia, with no ethnic majority.
