SARAWAKIANS UNITE!!

Found this posted in friendster, agree 100%. haha

"Have you ever heard people ask us Sarawakians whether we still live in the jungles, hunt for food and wear clothing made out of leaves?
If I was asked so, I would proudly say yes.
When you as a Sarawakian start to feel down just because you're from Sarawak, these facts would surely make you change your mind:

1. We have the second largest International airport in Malaysia. While others might not even have any. We have FIVE major airports, while others might not have one.

2. Car fuel is the cheapest here.

3. We have two official cities, Kuching and Miri and soon Sibu, while other states might only have a town.

4. We are still the main reason why tourists come to Malaysia, for our Mulu Caves.

5. Two out of the popular singers based at Taiwan are from Sarawak(Nicholas Teo and Lim Yu Zhong) (not to mention Jason Lo from hitz.fm, a Sarawak born famous radio dj & music personality)

6. The whole of Brunei island does not envy Malaysia. They envy Sarawak.

7. The most air travelers in Malaysia are from Sarawak. Almost all Sarawakians have at least traveled once or twice with airplane, compared to the west Malaysians.

8. We have our own daily newspaper: namely Sarawak Tribune, Borneo Post and International Times.

9. Everytime there's a reality show, our contestants always reach respectful levels.

10. We live in harmony, not just with Malay, Indian and Chinese, but also with Iban, Bidayuh, Melanau, Kelabit etc. The term Sarawak truly Asia is more like it.

11.First 'Amazing Race' ever was held in Kuching, Sarawak. (take that!)

12. Most of us Sarawakians speak at least 4 different languages.

13. MAS CEO from Sarawak, Sin Chiew daily news'(the biggest newspaper company in Malaysia) founder is from Sarawak.

14. Sarawak Laksa!!!! Kolo Mee!!!
This is just to name a few examples, but despite all this, we are still proud to be Malaysian. Happy National Day! (16 September 2007)
