STUDY IN SARAWAK, MALAYSIA

LAND OF INTRIGUING DIVERSITYBe a part of the country’s rich multicultural mix. Indulge in a whole new learning experience.

MULTICULTURALISM, A FACT OF LIFE

Having had an interesting past and being a part of the international spice route many hundreds of years ago, Malaysia has turned into a bubbling, bustling melting pot of races livingtogether in peace and harmony.Malays, Chinese, Indians, theindigenous communities of Sarawak and Sabah, and several otherethnic groups, have lived together for generations. All these cultures have influenced each other, creating a truly Malaysian culture.

Everything from its people to itsarchitecture reflect a colourfulheritage and an amalgamatedculture. Multiculturalism has also made Malaysia a gastronomicalparadise and home to hundreds of colourful festivals. It is therefore no wonder that Malaysians lovecelebrating and socialising.

SARAWAK - THE NATION’S LARGEST AND MOST DIVERSE STATE

Malaysia’s diversity is most profound in Sarawak, in East Malaysia, on the

island of Borneo. From pristineunderwater marine life and untouched coral reefs to the rich heritage of its indigenous peoples, and from lush rainforests and some of the world’s largest caves to picturesque beach resorts and modern city landscapes, Sarawak is indeed a potpourri of experiences.

Known as Bumi Kenyalang or ‘Land of the Hornbills’, Sarawak is Malaysia’s largest state and home to some 27 ethnic groups making up a population of close to 2 million; each with its own distinct language, culture and life-style. The Ibans form the predominant ethnic group, followed by the Chinese, Malays, Bidayuh, Melanau and other native groups. The majority of the population live and work in the State’s cities and towns, but a sizeablepercentage still live in longhouses and villages in the interior and engage in agriculture.

Sarawak is renowned for itsnatural beauty and attractions, which includes the famous Mulu Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Sarawak’s rainforest is one of the

most diverse and protected ecosystems in the world. Its treasure of natural wonders is best appreciated in its many protected national parks where alluring caves, waterfalls, beaches and exotic wildlife can be found.

Sarawak has an abundance of natural resources. Sarawak’s LNG andpetroleum have provided the mainstay of the Malaysia’s economy for decades and the state is also one of the world’s largest exporters of tropical hardwood timber and the major contributor to Malaysian exports.

Future growth is being fueled by an influx of foreign investment and new industries being established within the Sarawak Corridor Of Renewable Energy (SCORE), one of the five regionaldevelopment corridors being developed throughout the country and aimed at transforming Sarawak into a developed state by the year 2020.

WHY MIRI?

SARAWAK’S LOCATION OF CHOICE

SARAWAK’S MOST COSMOPOLITAN CITY

Miri is regarded as Sarawak’s most cosmopolitan city with a population of more than 350,000 comprising the entire spectrum of the state’s over 20 ethnic groups, as well as a largeexpatriate community.

It is often referred to as the ‘Oil Town of Malaysia’ as it is home to thecountry’s over 100-year-oldpetroleum industry, as well asSarawak’s ‘Resort City’ given its scenic seaside location and being thegateway city to the area’s worldrenowned natural attractions.

CITY ON THE MOVE

Miri’s history, progress and economy have always been tied to oil. Only a humble fishing village about a century ago, it has grown in leaps and bounds since oil was discovered in the area in 1910.

The oil and gas industry remains the largest contributor to the economy of Sarawak but other industries such as forestry and agriculture burgeoned in the years following Sarawak’sindependence through the formation of Malaysia in 1963. In recent years, the construction, shipbuilding, retail, financial services, tourism, education

and manufacturing sectors have also contributed greatly to the city’s rapid economic growth.

Today, Miri boasts a splendidwaterfront, marina, shopping malls, luxury condominiums, two 18-hole golf courses,international class hotels and a modern airport and port.

It has also become an educational and training hub with the presence of Curtin Malaysia and other private and public institutions of higher learning, as well as a key tourism hub for eco-activities, diving and adventure holidays.

Safe, growing, multicultural.
