Western tourists are not interested in James Brooke who killed about 3000 Hakka gold miners in Bau. His image is not as great as what is painted as in history in Text books. Tourists are attracted to the natives and their cultures, especially their handicrafts and authentic native food.
The European and American tourists may be fascinated by the history of Rajah Brooke's reign of Sarawak, what excites them more is the rich biodiversity in Sarawak which they don't have. They LOVE the tropical rain forests - the "ancient" rattan trees, the rough river ride, the exotic animals...... hiking tirelessly in the forest, enjoying being tanned.......... they sing praises of their experiences to their family and friends back home, evoking such a great sense of envy from them. This - from my personal encounter.
SARAWAK STATE NOW IS RISING AND SHINING STAR OF MALAYSIA. HOPE ONE DAY , THE PEOPLE OF SARAWAK WILL MAKE A REFEREDUM. (SARAWKIAN PEOPLE WILL KNOW WILL KNOW WHAT I MEAN)
Com' on little bro, that is so offensive! Brooke Dynasty birth the Sarawak identity, it is not lost dignity, lost dignity is when you join Malaysia you slowly lost your right! Typical Lil bro who learn history from Malaysia school history text book! 🤨
