Sarawak
is the largest state in Malaysia. It
covers an area of 124,000 square kilometres
and has a coastline of some 800km facing
the South China Sea. Lying on the northwest
coast of Borneo, the third largest island
in the world, Sarawak shares its boundaries
with Kalimantan (Indonesia Bomeo) in
the south, Brunei and Sabah in the north.
Sarawak
is also known as 'The land of many
rivers'. The rivers provide natural
means of transportation and communication.
The 590km long Sungai Rejang is the
longest river in the country. The
rivers together with the wide spread
trunk roads and well connected domestic
air links make traveling to interior
destinations easily accessible.
