Charles Brooke was my great-grandfather. It feels strange to have that history in my family. I hope to visit Sarawak some day. It looks so beautiful.

Recently I went back kuching and I check on my nephew school history textbook,mostly west Malaysia history, how do they expect young generation of sarawakian to know about sarawak history, sarawak ministry of education should take notes.

I am Sarawakian and I am proud of it...I hope Sarawak can get its prosperity back like the moment kingdom of Sarawak.

I'm British, I grew up in Borneo and I'd consider it my home, for what it's worth. Sarawak is still the place I most feel at home...

It takes a white man to explain the partial history of my own country for an upcoming university assignment because I really have no idea. Much thanks for the very digestible bite-sized information and love love love.

Very informative! Been researching the history of the white rajah since three years and this somehow helps a lot ! thank you so much!

y all this history legend tale been hide out from sarawakian for so long

I hope suport that sarawak becomes an independent country. #sabahsarawakmerdeka

Although James Brooke handled Sarawak better than the much hated Vyner Brooke, our grandfather's generation who lived during WW2 mostly held a common opinion, that the locals used to call James Brooke 'Raja Beruk' (Meaning 'Monkey King' in the local tongue). Unlike what history books say, the elders during their time don't regard James as hero at all. Knowing how winners always write the history, I was not surprised.

i love it bro, i hope youll continue you search, i want more.

I'm from 🇵🇭 and if Sabahans and Sarawakans wanna be a country, I say let them. ❤️❤️

British fooled us to form the federation of Malaysia together with North Borneo (Sabah), Malaya and Singpore but Brunei insist to be alone. Singapore left then Sabah and Sarawak was downgraded from a country (equal partner) to 12th and 13th states same with other state in Malaya.

I am Sarawakian ;)

Here's the difference Serawakians:love James Brooke Bruneians: Hate him with a strong and fiery passion

Sarawak is a beautiful country.

Sabah and Sarawak is a Country..

great.

Handling Sarawak to the United kingdom was a violation of the atlantic charter. Hope sawarak would be independent and have a new rajah.

Nice video

Yes, I as a Singaporean fully support the independence of Sarawak! And I am also grateful, we have been free from them (Malayans) for a long time. Sarawak (and Sabah too!) rise from your doldrums to a surprising revival! Free your land from their insane grip. Join the spirit of 'Sarawak for Sarawakians!' as Lee Kuan Yew did to Singapore before my country was kicked by those bastards. 🇸🇬🖤❤️💛 & 🤍💙❤️!

Wow. Interesting. I've just learned this in my 5th Grade chapter and searched for this. This is most useful! Thanks! I'm Bruneian btw

Nice short video. I have been binge-watching your videos, especially the Indonesians and Dutch videos. Good channel overall. >James Brooke became the 1st White Rajah in History Not exactly. That "honour" goes to Alexander Hare, the white rajah of Maluka (South East of Bandjarmasin). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Hare I put in quotation mark because he was not a good person. You brought up the differences between Sarawak and Dutch Borneo. The inhabitants also reacted differently to their respective colonial masters after WW2 ended. In Sarawak, things generally went back to normal. The White Rajah birthday was celebrated. British officers returned back to their posts with ease. In Dutch Borneo... bamboo spears were sharpened, non-cooperation were everywhere, and the Dutch had a big old mess. Do I want a return to the rule of the White Rajah? No, of course not. But I am grateful for them. I am grateful it were the British that came, and not the Dutch. Side comment: I also watched your Sabah video too. In the early 20th century, some blokes in the North Borneo Company wanted to implement the cultuurstelsel like in the Dutch colonies to raise more money. That idea was quickly shot down by the shareholders.

wanna know deeper about James Brooke any book you recommend ?

You are right, Brooke's never exploited us by sending resources here back to Britiain but provided us with necessities until we were given to the British due to WW2.

If sarawak become independant country, who knows in future..

Do more history about Sabah and can Sabah become an independent country

I'm from Sarawak

I wonder what what the people of Sarawak thought about their new 'white raja'. Also, you say that Brooke didn't really exploit the local population in the way that the Dutch did, but I'm curious about what this exploitation looked like (what they did), and how Brooke was any different. Do you have any books to recommend about the region at that time, or anywhere I can find out more about the attitudes of the locals? Thank you!

Sabah dan Sarawak boleh memerintah sendiri tapi kuala lumpur pada masa itu tidak senang mendengarnya

thks for history sharing ....appreciated it .....pls support ya

James Brooke is the only explorer to turned into a king after solving a conflict

Wake up sarawak.kita mampu bina nagara kita sndri.sarawak for sarawak'an

SARAWAK = DOLLAR CURRENCY

YES we still have our own language! Sarawak Malay isn't a dialect, it is a language!

Sarawak is already achieved independence for 61 years since 16th September 1963,it is the time to publish Sarawak full measure of self-government Sarawak Dollars .

SARAWAKIAN BORNEO

Hail to the king!!!

apa apa jadi pada sarawak walaupun kena perang ke,eropah datang bantu..sarawak masih lagi salah satu empire eropah uk 🇬🇧 sarawak for sarawakians✊✊MA63 perjanjian sarawak..

Apakah serawak dan sabah sekarang negara new atau bergabung dengan negara yang lain

Sarawak adalah tanah asli suku dayak.Ini terbukti dengan penemuan deep skull Gua niah yang berusia 40 ,000 tahun sebelum masihi adalah milik suku dayak Iban.Tetapi sayang banyak sejarah tentang suku asli sepeeti di tenggelamkan .Contohnya keberadaan kerajaan dayak kuno Di Tampun Juah yang dikenal juga sebagai pengaruh hinduisme senagai kerajaan Wijayapura dari dayak iban.Malah kewujudan kerajaan dayak manyan Nan sarunai sebelum ditawan oleh penjajah majapahit dari sumatera di borneo selatan juga banyak yang tidak mengetahui..yang diketengahkan adalah sejarah kerajaan bukan suku asli seperti sejarah kerajaan brunei ,majapahit,sriwijaya,james brooks,british dan kependudukan Jepun yang banyak ditulis dalam sejarah.Tetapi sejarah suku asli langsung tidak utarakan

the owner of kingdom of Sarawak will be home soon this year.

we want independence from malaysia we want this whole island of borneo become 1 country, but not rule under muslim world, and we dont want it. we want our island just like australia and new zealand example

We want independent!!!

What do u mean we don't have our own flag?

I’m a descendent of the Brookes

Good🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

Some peoples comment like don't have brain? That there learn about history of confrontation Malaysia-Indonesia when Malaysia was attack by Soekarno .As we know, now minister of defense Indo is Prabowo Subianto. If Sarawak or Sabah out from Malaysia probably Indonesia with top 16 most powerful army in the world and first Asean country of economy increase will take chance to invade Sarawak. When Malaysia was attack by Indo our government ask help with Commonwealth country , nowadays if Sarawak attack again with whom there want to?

To me Borneo should be 1 country. Brunei, Sarawak, Sabah & Kalimantan. But Indonesia gonna make Kalimantan as capital.

If sabah and sarawak come out of malaysia... The Philippines and Indonesia will colon their countries. 😥

Money is everything..british colony in west malaya backup brooke well

Shame no effort to show the town of Kuching for example. Just standing and giving a lecture not very interesting

A 25 second intro for a video that is just over three minutes long.

Did you really unironically say Brooke assisted the Sultan of Brunei in battles against inland "savages"?

Keturunan Brooke pun tiada yg jadi rakyat Sarawak.

sarawak is dayak land. not malay. am i right?😁

Ini lah yang selalu di kuar-kuarkan oleh british berkena dengan Sarawak... Konon nya mereka ada sebagai dewa bagi negeri Sarawak..sedangkan mereka perampas tanah warisan raakyat kesultanan Brunei....

Not really a kingdom. Rather a jungle.

After sarawak out from malaysia indonesia army can take over this land ..sarawak army outnumber vs indonesia...ok sarawak..ringgit is in history
