ʻO Kuching, ke kapikala o Sarawak, ka mokuʻāina nui loa ma Malaysia, he moeʻuhane no ka mea pena. I nā ahiahi maʻemaʻe, ʻākoakoa ka poʻe ma kapa o ka muliwai ʻo Sarawak e kahe ana i loko o ke kūlanakauhale e hauʻoli i nā hiʻohiʻona nani i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā ma lalo o ka lewa e hoʻohuli ana i ka lani i ʻōlinolino, ʻalani a me ke gula. ʻO nā hale colonial nani a me nā mea kanu ulu i hoʻonohonoho ʻia i ke kua o nā mauna kiʻi kiʻi i ka manaʻo o ka maluhia a me ka maluhia ʻole i hoʻopilikia ʻia e ka haunaele kālā i ke koena o ka honua.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻike nui ke aupuni mokuʻāina i ka hoʻoweliweli i kū ʻia e ka pilikia kālā o ka honua. Ua aʻo aku ke Kuhina Kōkua ʻo Hamden Ahmad i nā hōkele a me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e hana ana i ka mākaʻikaʻi e hoʻomākaukau iā lākou iho no ka emi ʻana o ka helu o nā malihini kipa ma muli o ke ʻano o ka hoʻokele waiwai o kēia wā. I ka manawa like, makemake nui ke kuhina hoʻokipa e hoʻonui i ka nui o nā keʻena hōkele mai kahi o 5,000 a 10,000 i ka makahiki e hiki mai ana.

ʻO ke hopohopo e pili ana i nā prospect no ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa kahi kumuhana i lawe ʻia e kahi hui aupuni ʻole, ʻo AZAM, ka mea i mālama ʻia i kahi ʻaha kūkā o ka Commonwealth Journalists Association ma Kuching. I loko o kahi haʻiʻolelo i nā ʻelele i ka CEO, ʻo Datu Aloysius Dris, lana ka manaʻo e mau ana nā leʻaleʻa o Sarawak i nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ma muli o ka emi ʻana o ka hoʻokele waiwai. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo hiki i ka mokuʻāina ke lilo i puʻuhonua no ka poʻe e ʻimi ana e pakele mai ke ʻano o ka pōʻeleʻele i kahi ʻē aʻe.

I ka manawa i noi ʻia ai ʻo Mr. Dris e wehewehe i ka mea i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻo Sarawak. Me ke kanalua ole, ua pane mai la oia: “ He wahi liiki ia o ka maluhia. Ke hele mai ka poʻe malihini i ʻaneʻi, nīnau pinepine lākou 'no ke aha i aloha ai ka poʻe a me ka maluhia?

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he mea kēia i ʻāpana o kā ka hoʻopiʻi hoʻopiʻi ʻana a Sarawak e kū nei ma mua o 200 mau makahiki mai nā lā ma mua o ke kolone. "Ma loko o kā mākou mōʻaukala ua aʻo ka poʻe i ka hele pū kekahi me kekahi. Ua hele ka poʻe kālepa Kina, Malay a me ʻAlapia i ka nahele, ua aʻo i ka ʻōlelo o nā ʻohana kūloko a ua noho ka hapa nui ma waena o lākou. "

ʻO kēia kuʻuna o ka noho maluhia hiki ke hāʻawi ʻia i ke kūlana mōʻaukala o Kuching ma ke ʻano he kikowaena kālepa, i loko o nā kenekulia i huki ai i ka poʻe mai nā ʻāina like ʻole e noho ma ia wahi. Ua hui pū nā Mele, Kina, ʻInia, ʻEulopa a me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe he nui i nā hui ʻōiwi o ia wahi e hana i kekahi kūlanakauhale me kahi hoʻoilina moʻomeheu waiwai a kū hoʻokahi.

Ma mua o ke kenekulia 19, aia ʻo Sarawak ma lalo o ka mana o ke Sultan o Brunei. ʻOiai he wahi maluhia ʻo Sarawak, ua loaʻa nō hoʻi ia i kahi wā haunaele i ka wā i kipi ai ka poʻe kamaʻāina i ke aupuni ʻo Brunei no ka koi ʻia ʻana e uku i nā ʻauhau kiʻekiʻe a me nā hana ʻino ʻē aʻe o ka mana.

I ka makahiki 1839, ua lawe ʻia ʻo James Brooke, he kanaka Pelekane waiwai nui, e hoʻihoʻi i ka maluhia a ma hope iho ua lilo ʻo ia i Rajah Pelekane mua o Sarawak. ʻO kāna mea pani, ʻo Charles Brooke, ke kuleana o ka nui o nā hale mōʻaukala e kū ana ma ke kūlanakauhale a me ke kahakai. Ua ulu ʻo Kuching i kūlanakauhale ulu hou ma hope o ka lilo ʻana o Sarawak i ʻāpana o ka Federation of Malaysia ma 1963.

Ke hoʻi nei i kēia manawa a me ke aniau kālā pōuliuli, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mr. Dris: "Ma kēia manawa ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia kahi kulu kahe o nā kipa mākaʻikaʻi akā inā kū kēia kahi hana fallback e hoʻonui i ka hoʻokele no ka nui o nā mākaʻikaʻi mai ka ʻāina e like me e like me Brunei, Singapore, Indonesia a me nā ʻāina ʻĀkia Hema Hema ʻē aʻe. ” Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he ala kēia i ho'āʻo maikaʻi ʻia a hoʻokō ʻia ma Australia.

He waiwai nui nā mākaʻikaʻi mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Sarawak a ikaika ka mana o ka mokuʻāina i ka pale ʻana i kā lākou kūpaʻa i ka mālama ʻana i ke kaiapuni. Hāʻawi ka mokuʻāina i nā kipa ʻana i nā ululāʻau e ʻike i ka hihi ʻo ia ka hōʻailona o ka mokuʻāina a i ʻole nā orangutane kaulana mau ʻia, ka langur banded red banded a me nā ʻano holoholona ʻē aʻe. Aia nā kahakai, nā kahawai a me kahi ʻōnaehana nui me ka lua nui ma ka honua. No ka mea hou aku adventurous loaʻa nā manawa kūpono e piʻi piʻi ai, trekking a me ka luʻu ʻana.

Ma Kuching, hauʻoli loa ka ʻike ʻana i nā luakini Kina a me Hindu e kū kokoke ana i nā mosque. Haʻaheo nā kamaʻāina kūloko i ke kuʻuna lōʻihi o ka hana pū ʻana ma waena o nā lāhui a me nā hui haipule a makemake nui e mālama i kēia.

Ua hele nā ʻelele mai kekahi mau ʻāina he iwakālua o ka Commonwealth i ka ʻaha kūkā CJA ma Kuching. No ka hapa nui ko lākou kipa mua ʻana i ka mokuʻāina. I ka hiki ʻana mai o ka manawa e haʻalele ai i nā mea āpau ua kaumaha lākou i ka hele ʻana akā hoʻohiki lākou e hoʻi hou me ko lākou mau ʻohana e hauʻoli i ka moʻomeheu a me nā hoʻoilina waiwai o Sarawak a me ka mahanahana a me ka lokomaikaʻi o kona poʻe.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

On clear evenings people gather on the banks of the Sarawak river that flows through the city to enjoy the spectacular views as the sun sinks below the horizon turning the sky a vivid, orange and gold.
The elegant colonial buildings and lush vegetation set against the backdrop of sculptural mountains create a sense of peace and tranquility unruffled by the financial turmoil in the rest of the world.
The state offers visits to rain forests to catch sight of the hornbill that is the state emblem or the ever-popular orangutans, the rare red-banded langur and other forms of wildlife.
