SARAWAK’S LONG-HAIRED PEOPLE OF THE FOREST Long ago throughout a mighty rainforest, there walked a race of gentle giants steeped in mystery. It was said they had long silky hair of a rich cinnamon brown and slept in great nests high up in the tallest trees. They could swing from tree to tree and walk on the forest floor like humans. People called them orangutan, meaning ‘people of the forest’. Legend tells of ancient-day Ibans reincarnating as these creature. It is still taboo for certain Iban longhouses to harm orangutans. Today, science tells us this gentle giant of myth and legend is Pongo pygmaeus, the species of orang utan unique to Sarawak and Borneo. Orangutans are Old World apes, found only in Borneo and Sumatra. In Sarawak, these animals once roamed throughout the state but are now so critically endangered that the remnant population is found only in the Batang Ai-Lanjak-Entimau forest complex. Of all the iconic symbols in the world, few are as emotive as Sarawak’s orangutans. They have always evoked the spirit and soul of Sarawak throughout history. And even today, they call to mind the nature, myth and sophistication that is the Sarawak of the modern world. This is the last frontier for old-fashioned adventure. This is the heart of the world’s oldest rainforests and home to the largest primate in Asia. Here, Old World charm is complemented by the blessings of modern technology and corporate culture. Nowhere else on earth offers the sleekness of the corporate world in tandem with the wild reality of orangutans and rainforests. Sarawak means business. Sarawak is adventure.

“This land of myth and legend, this land of misty forests, this land of wild nature and river, this Sarawak.” Choose Your Adventure...convention bidding We are justifiably proud of our track record of bidding success which currently stands at an impressive 68 per cent strike rate for bids presented on behalf of our Malaysian host organisations. The earlier you get us involved with your planning, the more help we can be. All our services are provided free of charge to meeting planners and include: • Preparation of professionally produced bid documents (official invitations) expertly researched and custom designed web based or printed. • Personal letters of support from dignitaries. • Promotional literature on Sarawak. • In-kind support for bid presentations. • Assistance with lobbying decision makers. • Marketing and promotion support. • Site inspection visits for qualified national or international decision makers as part of the bid process.
Meetings or Exhibitions that attract in excess of 150 delegates/exhibitors from outside Sarawak and are in line with the State’s trade and investment priorities are also eligible to apply for additional funding through the State Convention Sponsorship Committee. This funding can be used to comply with the organisation’s bid criteria or assist the local planner to stage the convention in Sarawak. The Bureau will assist eligible organisations throughout the application process. To be eligible for this additional State support, the organisation must be a registered non profit association or company limited by guarantee, and the application must be supported by a State Government Agency. Funding is not automatic and approval is at the discretion of the State. For international conventions, the Bureau also works closely with our Federal counterpart, the Malaysia Convention and Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) and can assist organisers to access their comprehensive range of services and incentives to attract conventions to Malaysia.
SARAWAK CONVENTION BUREAU SERVICES
The amount of cash and in-kind support provided for meetings is dependent on the event’s economic, social and trade benefit to Sarawak and the meeting must attract delegates from outside Sarawak.

Fellow Adventurers...Delegate Boosting Once the convention has been secured, the Bureau will assist in marketing to maximise delegate attendance through the provision of: • Loan on display material and access to photographic images of Sarawak. • Promotional destination video. • Extracts of data on international organisations in your field that are active in the meetings industry from the International Congress and Convention Association. • Personalised welcome message at Kuching International Airport for group arrivals. • Loan of “Harry the Hornbill” costume as a mascot for special events. • Personalised letter of welcome from the chairperson of SCB (by request).

Convention Planning Checklist
Once Sarawak has been selected as your convention destination, our team can help you bring together all the local suppliers you need to stage a successful event. We have outlined some key points that we feel might be useful for you to know. However, you can obtain further assistance from the Bureau’s Sales Team or from your appointed Event Planner.
Selecting a Date • A successful conference usually requires at least a 2-year timeline from bidding to staging the event. • Avoid public holidays, major annual events or competing conventions. • Avoid the beginning and/or end of local school holidays to ensure airlines seat availability. • Be as flexible as possible with dates; selecting off-peak periods may reduce costs and avoid potential competition. • The most favourable conference rate can usually be obtained during the fasting month of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month. ...............................................................................................................................................
Selecting & Booking Your Venue Well in Advance • The Bureau can source venue quotation on your behalf, helping you to make an early decision. • Always meet with a sales manager and carry out a thorough site inspection. • Check what services are available in house (such as audio-visual, catering, cleaning, etc.), request detailed price lists and make cost comparisons.
SARAWAK CONVENTION BUREAU SERVICES

Selecting Supporting Accommodation • Choose accommodation that is easily accessible to the primary venue. Hotels that are close to the venue will reduce transport costs and increase delegate convenience and satisfaction. • Check booking conditions, especially payment terms, minimum and maximum room blocks and room release policies. ...............................................................................................................................................

Selecting Professional Assistance • Approach more than one professional organiser to gain a comparison of services provided and associated costs. • Ask the tendering organiser to specify all services provided, especially registration, event promotion, bookings and travel, event management, venue liaison, vendor liaison, budget management and sponsorship. • Request detailed cost breakdown, cost of potential add-ons and full disclosure of any commission structure. • Ensure that the professional conference organiser (PCO) has experience in organising your type of event. ...............................................................................................................................................
Securing Sponsorship
...............................................................................................................................................
Promoting the Convention • Start your marketing early (at least 6 to preferably 12 months in advance). • Check with the Bureau for delegate boosting advice and support. • Seek marketing assistance from sponsors. ...............................................................................................................................................
SARAWAK CONVENTION BUREAU SERVICES
• Prepare convincing sponsorship proposals, identify appropriate sponsorship prospects and make contacts early. • Ensure that sponsorship terms and conditions are agreeable to both parties. • Develop attractive tailor-made sponsor benefits packages.

Convention Listing Services
The Sarawak Convention Bureau can assist you to promote and market your convention. Our objective is to help you attract more delegates. Effective promotion can also help secure increased sponsorship opportunities.
Delegate Boosting Marketing Subsidy If you provide details of your forthcoming convention – by completing and returning the event listing form – you may be eligible for our Delegate Boosting Marketing Subsidy of up to RM5,000 per convention. ...............................................................................................................................................
Ongoing Event Promotion Details of forthcoming conventions are published in our official Calendar of Events, which is promoted on our web site and provided to local and international media to generate additional publicity. The calendar is also provided to relevant government agencies, industry organisations and other interest groups. ...............................................................................................................................................
Choosing Dates to Attract Delegates When choosing the dates for your convention, it is essential to check what other events are taking place around that time to avoid conflicts with similar events. It can often be advantageous to schedule your event close to a festival or local public event, in order to encourage delegates to attend and to extend their stay. However it is important to check seat and room availability if the adjacent festival or event is popular with overseas or out-of-town visitors. ...............................................................................................................................................

Sharing Data & Information Resources
A8
Access to accurate data on confirmed meetings is important for our ongoing research and statistical purpose, and it is equally important for the successful planning and promotion of your event. We will gladly share our data resources and contact network with you, and in return we would like to ask you to share your event data with us. The reason for this is simple. The State Government of Sarawak is investing millions of ringgit in improved convention infrastructure and it is important that we are able to measure and report on the economic impact of our convention industry. Data on visiting delegates is also required to assist in future planning and to help potential investors and developers gain a greater understanding of the state of the market. We look forward to working with you to make your convention a success, and thank you for sharing information on your forthcoming events. ...............................................................................................................................................

DAUGHTER OF SARAWAK
YB Datin Hajah Fatimah Abdullah For a young girl of mixed parentage from the little village of Kampung Teh in Dalat, it has been a road well travelled for YB Datin Hajah Fatimah Abdullah, Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister’s Office, Dalat assemblywoman and tireless pioneer of women’s development in Sarawak. Her schedule is incredibly full but she gives each appointment her full attention. As Assistant Minister, Datin Fatimah is in charge of at least three major portfolios. She oversees human resources and capacity building; home economics and training, and agriculture issues in relation to poverty. On top of that she represents her hometown of Dalat in the political arena, and is vice chair of Parti Pesaka Bumiputra Bersatu (PBB) Wanita.
Power & Grace
She pioneers projects and leads think tanks in the eradication of poverty in the State; and constantly breaks new ground by championing economic progress for women. In her office, she is relaxed and content. Her welcome is warm. There is sincerity in her eyes. This is a woman who throws herself at her work wholeheartedly. Every project is close to her heart. Off the cuff, she rattles off at least five different projects she has initiated. It is a long list but she is well-versed with the details of each, from bringing minimum wage over the poverty line for women, organizing conventions on pre-school education to the creation of school-leavers’ councils, establishing branding for Bintulu belacan as one of Sarawak’s signature products, to empowering women and training rural families to start their own cottage industries.
SARAWAK CONVENTION BUREAU SERVICES
Whichever mission in the many that she occupies herself with, Datin Fatimah radiates a glowing passion to help and make a difference in the lives of Sarawak’s people. Her inspiration and joy in all that she does is founded upon the lives she has changed, especially in the fields of education and women’s issues in Sarawak. Sarawak is an exceptional place to her. It is where she comes from. No matter where she goes in the world, her heart belongs here. She is the embodiment of the Sarawakian, coming from Chinese and Melanau heritage, educated outside the State, having stayed in England where she completed post-graduate studies, and returning to make a difference in her homeland. To her, the unity of different cultures and races living in mutual respect is the greatest strength of Sarawak. People here appreciate simple pleasures and have strong traditional values. It is important to her that the next generation of Sarawakians retain this unity and are brought up in an environment with no prejudices. She dreams of a Sarawak without poverty, a peaceful Sarawak and a Sarawak with intact cultural and traditional values that transcend races. And she believes very much that we are on our way there. The walls of her office are lined with framed photographs, some in black and white and clearly of sentimental value. They exemplify the woman behind the title – down to earth, sincere, with a true heart for Sarawak and her people.

The Heartbeat of Borneo
Selamat Datang! Destination Sarawak...Homework for the Intrepid Explorer • Largest of 13 states in Malaysia, Sarawak covers 124,450 sq km (slightly smaller than Greece or Mississippi), and stretches over 750km on northeastern Borneo. It makes up 37.5% of land area in the country. .................................................................................................................................................... • Sarawak is unique in that there is a significant difference in culture, administration and lifestyle from Peninsular Malaysia. Roughly 28 ethnic groups make up Sarawak’s population of 2.4 million people, each with their own language, traditions and way of life. The largest of these are the Iban people, who make up 31% of the population, followed by ethnic Chinese (28%), Malay (20%), Bidayuh (8%), Melanau (6%), Orang Ulu (5%), Indian, Eurasian and smaller indigenous groups (total of 2%).

• Sarawak is renowned for its abundance in natural resources. Liquid natural gas, crude oil and tropical hardwood timber are the stalwarts of the economy. Increasingly, agriculture (oil palm) is becoming more important, as is the light industries of food processing, shipbuilding and electronics. .................................................................................................................................................... • Centuries ago, Sarawak was once part of the Bruneian empire. The Sultan of the empire awarded Sarawak, by degrees, to a British adventurer who helped eradicate the problem of piracy off the coast of northern Borneo. He was James Brooke, the first White Rajah of Sarawak. The Brooke family were much-loved and where benign rulers from 1841 to 1946, after which Sarawak became a British Crown Colony before gaining independence through the formation of Malaysia. ....................................................................................................................................................
• Kuching is the capital city of Sarawak, with an estimated population of 600,000. In northern Sarawak, Miri is the main city (263,000). Sibu (254,000) and Bintulu (196,000) are the main towns in central Sarawak. .................................................................................................................................................... • English is widely spoken throughout the state, though Bahasa Malaysia (Malay) is the official language. Other local lingua include Mandarin, Hokkien and other major Chinese dialects. There is also a Sarawak version of Malay, called “Bahasa Sarawak” or “Melayu Sarawak”. Tours are available in a variety of languages. Check with your local tour operator. .................................................................................................................................................... • The Equator cuts through Borneo less than 100 km south of Sarawak. This is truly the wet tropics. Tropical showers can be expected throughout the year, but there are two distinct seasons: November to March is the rainy season; April to October is the drier spell. Comfortable clothing of natural fibres is best. .................................................................................................................................................... • Like the rest of Malaysia, Sarawak’s currency is the Malaysian Ringgit (RM). Banks, 24-hour ATMs and money changers are found in main airports and urban centres. International banks like HSBC, Standard Chartered and OCBC can be found in larger cities like Kuching and Miri. ....................................................................................................................................................

Weave your way around like a seasoned explorer. Kuching, Sibu, Bintulu and Miri are the major cities and towns in Sarawak. All of them are linked by MASwings and AirAsia flights, using B737400 or Boeing A320 carriers. These airlines also service smaller towns like Limbang and Lawas, and over 30 rural hubs including Mulu, Bario and Bakelalan. These are linked by Fokker F-50 and BHC Twin Otter carriers. It is entirely possible to drive from Kuching to Miri and make stopovers in sleepy little enclaves in between. The Kuching-Miri highway is tar-sealed and in good condition. This same highway links all major towns in Sarawak and beyond. Self-drive rental cars, chartered coaches and buses are widely available. The web-like network of rivers in Sarawak remains an efficient mode of transport, especially beyond the main cities and towns. Express boats connect Kuching with Sibu (5 hours). These can be chartered for groups of up to 300 to most coastal and riverine destinations.

Two landmark breakthroughs in highlights Sarawak’s new direction in development. The RM300 million Dewan Undangan Negeri (State Assembly Complex) is situated on the north bank of the Sarawak River. It is a monument to the pathos of a government for the people, by the people. Of special interest to you, the convention venue hunter, is the state of the art Borneo Convention Centre Kuching which offers cutting edge facilities for today’s convention planner. With offerings that cater to up to 5,000 delegates, banquets for two to 2,000 guests per day, this is the latest treasure of the convention world. ....................................................................................................................................................
A Special SCORE for Sarawak Sarawak’s star shines bright with SCORE, which stands for Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy. The core aim of SCORE is to develop the Central Region of Sarawak to its full potential, accelerate the state’s economic growth, enhance the quality of life of its people; and in the process, transform Sarawak to a fully developed state in Malaysia. The main thrust of SCORE is in sources of renewable energy; specifically hydropower (28,000 MW), coal (1.46 billion tonnes), and natural gas (40.9 trillion square cubic feet), all of which are found in abundance in the Central Region of Sarawak, stretching 320km from Tanjung Manis to Similajau and covering 70,709 sq km over an area populated with over 607,000 people. Beyond economic development, SCORE aspires to alleviate poverty and bring the quality of life for Sarawak’s people to a new high. In support of the State’s vision and SCORE, SCB is pleased to provide its services to meeting planners who are interested to bring SCORE-related meetings to Sarawak.

son OF SARAWAK
Matthew Ngau Jau Tucked in an unobtrusive little corner, not far from Kuching city, lies a little cottage shaded by a plethora of plants. The place is so cool and green that it could be any traditional dwelling in Sarawak’s wilds. This is the studio of Matthew Ngau Jau, internationally renowned musician, artist, teacher and a true son of Sarawak. Matthew is a master of the sape, a lute played by Sarawak’s Orang Ulu peoples. He has brought Sarawak to the rest of the world, like a wandering minstrel of old, with the sape as his instrument of choice. His music has so aroused the love and curiosity of the artistic world that he now hand-carves his own brand of sape to sell to other musicians worldwide.
Artist of the land
His group, Lan E Tuyang, which means ‘true friends’, has travelled the world to play Sarawakian music; from the Netherlands, Germany, France to England and the United States. But above all, he is most loved in his homeland. His performance is a favourite must-see at the annual Rainforest World Music Festival in Kuching. There is always deafening applause and screams as he comes on stage, and then resounding silence as the crowd poises to listen. Such is the magic of this teacher from the village of Long Semiang in Sarawak’s Upper Baram region. This is the heart of Borneo. And this is where young Matthew, as a boy, picked up his first sape. Apart from his music, Matthew is a renowned wood carver. His studio-workshop is built like an Orang Ulu longhouse in miniature. Underneath the shady veranda scattered with paintings and carvings is Matthew’s wood-carving workshop. Wood shavings blanket the dirt floor as wooden panels await for Matthew to work on them. They will flank the stage at the Rainforest World Music Festival. Lying on the workbench, they exude an air of mystery, encouraging an air of anticipation from the observer.
THE HEARTBEAT OF BORNEO
Behind his workshop is his private sape-making area. It is an open hut, like a traditional hunter’s camp in the jungle. In it there is a fireplace, workbenches and tools. It is all rustic, back-to-basics and very much Matthew.
B12
All of Matthew’s creativity stem from his native culture. Slender tendrils meander through a maze of elegant motifs, reminiscent of the vines in the forest. Matthew derives his inspiration from who he is as a Kenyah Ngorek, as a child of Sarawak intrinsically tied to the forest, to nature. He needs to be engulfed and in the midst of the natural environment in order to work, to create. It is where he is happiest. For him, Sarawak epitomizes the core of hospitality, generosity, kindness and culture. Being a child of Sarawak is something he is immensely proud of. Speaking to him, his openness and humility immediately shine through. There are no airs about this man who for over 30 years has quietly gone about his business of interpreting Sarawak through his music and art. His wish is for the young people of Sarawak to never forget where their roots lie. He picks up his sape and caresses it. With the slightest touch of his fingers, the music electrifies the air. It is soulful, elegant, gentle. It somehow integrates itself into the very ether. Quite naturally, all who listen are immersed in it. The soul of Matthew is revealed, and it becomes clear that his love for this land is in the music.
| MATTHEW NGAU JAU |
Sarawak’s credentials are all about unique culture borne of age-old rainforests. True to this culture and to the very core of Sarawak is Matthew Ngau Jau, a man who expresses his Sarawakian soul in his music and art.

..................................................................................................................................................... Whether you are an adventure explorer or a convention organiser on your planning adventure, the southwest is the gateway to northern Borneo and is the usual first stop for visitors to Sarawak. This region is the historic administrative centre of Sarawak and hence is the most developed part of the State. Here, a vast range of convention facilities, visitor activities and unique experiences are available to groups of all sizes. Kuching is the capital city of Sarawak and was the historic city of the White Rajahs. There are 23 international class hotels (3-5 star rating), and over 50 boutique and smaller hotels in town. All the international hotels have the capacity to host world-class conventions. There are over 4,500 hotel rooms in the greater Kuching area, of which 3,600 are in the city itself. Forty minutes’ drive away, on the famed Santubong Peninsula, another 900 or so rooms are spread over three beachfront resorts at Damai Beach.

Kuching city itself is filled with history from the reign of the White Rajahs, the Japanese Occupation and the old colonial days of British rule. Trek the Heritage Walk along the Main Bazaar right beside the Sarawak River and trace the footsteps of explorers of old. Once upon a time, this was the first port of call of traders from as far afield as China and the Spice Islands to Borneo, trading goods and gold for gambier, birdsnest and pangolin scales. For delegates who have time for a little post-convention R & R, a myriad of unique Bornean experiences await them. A stone’s throw away from the city centre, the Borneo Highlands Resort is a jungle golfing paradise for convention delegates. A total of 30 luxury suites and rooms await golfing enthusiasts. A little further afield is the Batang Ai Resort, managed by Hilton, doorway to the last stronghold of Sarawak’s wild orangutans. Follow the Great Ape Trail and see if you can spot a wild orangutan. Traditional longhouse visits can be had on day or overnight tours.

For the nature-loving delegates, this is new and exciting Borneo, with innumerable opportunities to bring out the true adventurer in them. They can bask in sunny Bako National Park and take a peek at the endangered proboscis monkey; or enter Gunung Gading and hunt for the Rafflesia, the world’s largest flower that devours insects and smells like a dead body. Perhaps they might climb Mount Santubong before heading for a relaxing massage at one of Damai’s beach resorts; or walk up Mount Serapi before going for a good foot massage at one of the city’s innumerous massage establishments. At Semenggoh Wildlife Centre, about 35 minutes from the city, delegates can experience uncaged, semi-wild orang utans up close and personal. Alternatively, they can paddle with the dolphins, do a spot of crocodile-spotting, go caving in Bau or take a dive near the turtle islands. For delegates who do not have a lot of time, the Sarawak Cultural Village is a gem not to be missed. Nestled at the foothills of mystical Mount Santubong, it is a living cultural museum of the main ethnic peoples in Sarawak and showcases traditional lifestyles and a live cultural show daily. Right next door are the Damai Puri and Spa Resort and Damai Beach Resort.

Eating out has been perfected to an art form throughout Sarawak. Establishments from eateries in 5-star hotels to roadside stalls present a myriad of choices for the diner. Famous local delicacies include the Sarawak Laksa, Kolo Mee, Rojak, and the traditional Manok Pansuh (chicken cooked in a bamboo tube). Delectable seafood cooked in a hundred and one local ways is also a favourite. Top Spot, right in the centre of town, is renowned for its variety and good quality. Half an hour’s drive outside of Kuching, more seafood can be had in the village of Buntal, where seaside restaurants offer fresh and affordable seafood, Sarawak style. The nightlife in Kuching is as varied as the individuals out to sample them. There are quiet establishments where a good cup of espresso and cake can be enjoyed, cosy corners where a quiet chat with a mug of beer help wind down the day, karaoke lounges to help express the inner star in you, hip hop and techno pubs to try out those smooth dance moves, wine bars, cocktail places with live bands, or just simple local kopitiams for a cup of local coffee.

Sibu’s Aerial View
..................................................................................................................................................... The Central Region is the springboard to the central spine of Borneo. It is a perfect place to combine true adventure with a convention. The mighty Rejang, all 640 Km of it, is the longest river in Malaysia, flowing out of central Sarawak through Sibu, the main city and port. Sibu and Bintulu are the major cities here. Sibu is the main entry to the Upper Rejang River and has grown from a low-key settlement to a city with the tallest building in Sarawak and the largest town square in Malaysia.
EXPLORER’S MAP
Bintulu is a large coastal town at the centre of Sarawak; and is the main access to natural heritage areas like Similajau and Niah National Parks. It is Sarawak’s main industrial centre and houses the world’s largest liquefied natural gas production facility in a single site. There are five 3-4 star international hotels here with over 750 rooms that offer convention facilities. Beyond that, 32 smaller hotels with 710 rooms throughout this region offer conference facilities for smaller events.
C6
Sibu is also home to the Borneo Cultural Festival, which occurs every July. This is a week-long celebration of local culture and ethnic food, a convenient opportunity for the convention delegate who does not have the luxury of time to sample different cultures and food upriver. During a convention, delegates will have the opportunity to mingle with locals and experience the spirit of Sibu and Bintulu towns themselves, whichever city they are in. The Central and Night Markets in both towns are a good start to sample the local colour. Fresh jungle produce, handicrafts, local fruits, poultry, household goods, local cakes and other favourites can be found in these markets. After a walk around town, delegates can take pleasure in local coffee shops that dot the Sibu riverfront or Bintulu town and be part of that atmosphere. The riverside town of Sarikei, just one hour away, is renowned for producing reputedly the world’s finest pineapples.
Post-convention, delegates can look forward to days of adventure along the Rejang River. From Sibu, the Pandaw Cruise brings adventurers up the Rejang on the 5-star colonial-style RV Pandaw. Delegates can feast their eyes magnificent greenery where the jungle meets the river, or take in the power of the Pelagus Rapids where the cruise ends. The RV Pandaw has up to 30 luxury staterooms for the adventurer, and offers a 9-day tour from Sibu up to the Pelagus Rapids and back, docking at quaint historic towns in between. Or, delegates can join the locals and take one of Sarawak’s unique express boats to visit the bustling upriver town of Kapit and enter the Iban Heartland. River safaris and adventure treks can be arranged into Sarawak’s prime jungles and remote ethnic communities. Beyond Kapit, Belaga lays claim to being Malaysia’s most remote township. This is home to the famous Belaga Rapids and the beginning of the Heart of Borneo, where Orang Ulu longhouses and communities begin.

Downriver from Sibu is the Melanau Heartland, a coastal region centred on the town of Mukah and populated mostly by the Melanaus, a people adept in the art of fishing and growing sago. They dwell in picturesque water villages along the rivers and creeks of the coastline. The Sarawakian affection for eating out is no stranger to Central Sarawak. The majority Foochow Chinese in Sibu are famous for their simple but delightful fare, from the Kam Pua Mee (Foochow noodles) and Kompia (Foochow bagels) in the morning, to rich and tasty giant prawn noodles during lunch, to superbly cooked river fish such as soon hock, patin and tapah in the evening. Dining opportunities are plentiful even in smaller towns like Kapit, Sarikei and Kanowit.

Scenic beaches, rugged cliffs and scenic tropical rivers are Bintulu’s best natural assets. The most attractive coastline here is at Similajau National Park and Tanjung Batu Coastal Reserve Area. Unspoilt beaches with golden sands, quiet inlets and unique cliff facades fill these areas. Over an hour’s drive away is Niah National Park and its honeycomb of limestone caves. Niah is one of Southeast Asia’s most important archealogical sites. It was here that remnants of Stone Age tools, skull fragments dating 40,000 years and relics of extinct species were found. ....................................................................................................................................................

Post-conference, true adventure awaits delegates who are up for it. Beyond the coast is where the best and wildest of nature is to be found in the whole of Malaysia. Stunning sceneries of primary jungle, mist-shrouded mountains, clear undulating rivers and the only inland lake in Sarawak gives way to the Baram River, the life source of the Northeast Region. Here stands the mighty Murud, tallest mountain in Sarawak, besides which lie Bario and Bakelalan, heartland of the Kelabit and other Orang Ulu peoples. Sample good old-fashioned Orang Ulu cooking at the homestays there. Food is caught fresh from bubbling brooks or grown pesticide-free. Witness the making of the unique Bario salt at home factories. There is a network of beautiful jungle trails for the nature lover to trek. For the hardcore delegate, walk the Highlands from Bario to Long Lellang before taking a flight back to Miri. It takes 7 days, at least.

son OF SARAWAK
Wilfred Landong In the Iban culture, there is an ancient concept called “Bejalai”. It is a coming-of-age journey that every full-blooded Iban male sets out to do to attain manhood. Bejalai is a voyage, undertaken with a definite destination and a specific goal in mind. Often, young Iban men will bejalai to many places for years. But at the end of the day, the voyage always takes them home. Sitting behind the desk in a spacious office, Wilfred Landong is a man who has done his bejalai in the truest sense of the word. Standing at almost 6 feet tall, he strikes an imposing figure evocative of Iban warriors of old. And Wilfred is a modern-day warrior, not in a battle but more as a champion of the wild. For Wilfred is in charge of biodiversity conservation and all of Sarawak’s national parks and reserves. He oversees the protection of all flora and fauna, and the habitats they occupy in the entire State.
The Present Day Warrior
It has been a varied and colourful bejalai for this son of a headmaster from Sri Aman. His father was constantly transferred from town to town as an educator, so young Wilfred found himself with a truncated primary school education as his dad moved the family around. But, every bit an educator’s son, Wilfred went on to get a degree and masters from university, and has never looked back. Being part of the corporate world has always been Wilfred’s lot. Climbing the corporate ladder took him away from Sarawak for over 10 years. He travelled the region, working for Swiss and American companies, but home was always in his heart. So when the call came for someone to oversee protected areas in Sarawak, he chose to take a step into the unknown, not really knowing what to expect nor the nature of the job. He had seen his share of the corporate rat race, and it was time to return to his roots. Six years down the road, Wilfred is still in love with what he does. “This is not a job. It is a vocation. And it is fun! I still can’t believe I’m being paid to have fun.” Being in a position to conserve wildlife and nature comes naturally to Wilfred. “Ibans are taught conservation as they grow up”, he says. He remembers hunting and fishing with his grandfather, who taught him low-impact traditional methods to hunt and fish.
EXPLORER’S MAP
Biodiversity conservation is a rewarding undertaking for Wilfred. His calling was to bring about a specific orientation to the way that biodiversity is managed in the State and he revels in the knowledge that he is doing his part for his homeland.
C14
To Wilfred, the pristine state of Sarawak’s forests makes it a special place. It is still one of the most untouched places on earth. This is what inspires him in his work every day. His fervour for his work is grounded in his love for Sarawak. “There is true harmony here. Sarawakians are proud of who they are and where they come from, whatever their race may be.”

With the advent of development comes the need to protect wild nature. Over 20 national parks and wildlife sanctuaries dot the Sarawak’s 12.3 million hectares of Sarawak’s three regions. Meet the man who protects Sarawak’s wild.

Incentive Ideas Heart to Heart with Orangutans What does it feel like to save Borneo’s most endangered species? The orangutan, or ‘people of the forest’ is a much-loved international icon of the rainforest. Try out a day in the life of the unsung heroes who sacrifice time and effort to bring these gentle giants of Borneo’s forests back from the brink of extinction. Get down and dirty with the orangutan keepers at Matang Wildlife Centre and share a day of joy with these intelligent, soulful animals which were once found in abundance throughout Sarawak. Today, the only viable wild populations are found in Batang Ai National Park and Lanjak-Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary. At Matang, most of these apes were saved from a life of misery and death in the illegal wildlife trade. Be part of the conservation effort. Have a heart to heart with an orangutan at Matang Wildlife Centre.

Generosity, acts of kindness and bounteousness are part of the Sarawakian psyche. Be part of Sarawak through the Kuching chapter of Habitat for Humanity, an international aid organisation which helps provide homes to Sarawakians in need. Help build homes for poor families. Take the opportunity to be part of a community whilst you help bring basic housing to those in need. Experience firsthand the basics of constructing a home. No prior experience is needed. It’s not all work and no play though. You and your fellow delegates will get to share in the joys of local entertainment, traditional games and ways of kicking up your heels after a day’s hard work, Sarawak style.

Building Sarawak
This incentive requires a fair amount of hard work from the delegate, so be prepared for a certain degree of labour. Without a doubt, the gratitude and love returned by those you have helped will be worth the effort. You would have truly made a better future for Sarawak’s people, and that is a legacy to be proud of.
Kayaking in a Rainforest or Ocean Paradise Beyond the jungles, Sarawak is a land of rivers and oceans. It is not enough for adventurers to trek around on land and foot, journeys through this land cannot be complete without a sojourn through its waters. Paddle along rivers, through river mouths and out into the South China Sea. Get up close to ancient rock cliffs; glide along waters so clear that you can count the number of pebbles at the bottom. You will get a chance to take a peek at wild proboscis monkeys perched on their treetop dwellings. Need more adrenaline? Then shoot some rapids with trained guides or push through breakwater to kayak with dolphins in the open ocean. For the truly adventurous, take a paddle out to estuaries and see if you can spot crocodiles in their native habitat. Kayaking adventures can be as mild or as tough as you want them to be, for your safety. Professional kayakers lead every expedition. Stop by pebbly nooks or secluded beaches for a picnic before heading on to your next stop. Fancy an overnighter? Camp out or sleep under the stars. Ponder the milky way under the velvety night sky. There are no artificial lights or disturbances to interrupt your commune with nature here. End your kayaking expedition with a seafood dinner at a beachfront restaurant or a pamper at a beach resort. Kayaking adventures are perfect for groups of 8 to 40 people. Get an expedition tailor-made for your group after your conference or event.

The Sarawak Regatta Racing Sarawak Style
Row, Row, Row Your Boat
The Sarawak Regatta is an annual event to behold. Envision this: the Sarawak River brimming with longboats, traditional war-boats, water-taxis, dragon boats, modern kayaks; rowboats of all colours, make and design, all for one purpose – to race each other in the name of unity and fun. History tells of warring tribes who fought each other to the death over territory, pride and historical enmity. To divert such lusty energy away from violence, the colonial authorities created a river race of war boats or longboats, and made it an event of peace and to celebrate the rowing prowess of the different tribes. Thus was born the Sarawak Regatta, forever an important part of Sarawak culture for its role in ending tribal hostilities and bringing harmony to Sarawak. The first official record of the Regatta was in 1871 in Kuching. Since then, this has become an annual event. Today, new categories of rowboats have been added to the races, but the most eye-catching categories remains the traditional dragon boats and war boats races. Teams from overseas are most welcome to sign up for the races in the Sarawak Regatta. Conference delegates may represent country, club, creed, or simply in the name of adventure. Each longboat requires 20 paddlers.
ADVENTURE BEGINS
The Sarawak Regatta is held in August every year.

Cook up a Storm Why don’t you do an unusual thing in an unusual place? Bring a piece of Sarawak back with you. Learn to cook, Sarawak style in a group and impress the folks back home. Tailor-made group cooking tours can be had for delegate groups. Each group will be divided into teams. Each team will learn all about one true-blue Sarawakian recipe, such as the delectable manok pansuh (bamboo chicken), the celebrated Sarawak laksa or other undeniably Sarawak-style dishes from the village. Each team will be given a shopping list and head for the local wet market, where they will get to choose their ingredients from hundreds of stalls selling local spices, fresh produce, greens from the jungle, local fruits, spices, herbs, seafood, meats and poultry. Teams will get to visit local pepper farms to learn all about spice selection and quality. Then it’s back to the hotel for the cook-off. A local chef will be at hand to give each team a master class in cooking each dish, whether it be Iban, Bidayuh, Orang Ulu or local fusion recipes. Each team will be guided through the paces of creating their culinary masterpiece. Half the fun is in shopping at the wet markets, but the best part is, you get to taste the other team’s dishes after the cook-off. To commemorate the culinary success, each participant will be presented with a booklet of local recipes, a surprise souvenir and a one-of-a-kind certificate.

Theme Party Ideas
Join the Tribe
Headhunter Longhouse Theme Party Through dense jungle foliage the intrepid adventurers stumble into an opening, straight into the midst of a party of warriors in full tribal garb, blowpipes in hand. It is not an attack, however. It is a welcoming party to an Iban longhouse. Amidst haunting war-cries and adrenaline-rushing percussion of traditional Iban gongs, the adventurers are ushered up the steps into the arms of dancing maidens adorned in fine silver headdresses, brass bangles and pua sarongs. The guests are offered tuak, traditional rice wine. However it is not the tuak that intoxicates them but the hypnotizing moves of the ngajat, a dance borne of the mystical jungle. A special blessing ceremony, the miring, is performed by the headman to usher good tidings to all. Then, at the most happening spot of the longhouse, the ruai, dinner is served en masse and the adventurers get to dig in with everyone. The party continues after dinner, with more dancing and ngajat. This time, the adventurers get to join in and move to the groove. They get to learn how to joget and move to Iban top hits as well. Meanwhile, tuak and cold beer continue to flow, quenching the thirsty revellers.
The White Rajah Theme Party
ADVENTURE BEGINS
Sarawak’s colourful colonial past is anchored on the story of the ‘White Rajahs’, the lineage of British adventurers who came to rule Sarawak and were loved by all from 1841 to 1946. Re-live that past with a colonial-style White Rajah Team Party on the banks of the Sarawak River. Let us regale your group with the remarkable adventures of the Brookes, royal family to Sarawak for over 100 years; and with that, experience the taste of an era long gone.

Socialise and dance the night away under the boughs of lush trees on a perfectly manicured lawn. Dress to the nines and mingle in the elegance of olden days past, just as Rajah Brooke did when he entertained his illustrious guests, many of whom were famous naturalists, writers and actors of the day.
Kuman Burah Suneh Theme Party Never mind the strange language. This is as authentically ethnic Sarawak as one can get. After all the hard work at your conference, it is time to break out and explore Deep Dark Borneo. The Berawan culture is one of the most unique in Sarawak. They are part of a longer group who live at the head waters of Sarawak’s river, the Orang Ulu. Celebrate their cultural colours on-site with them, or we can bring the Berawan lifestyle to you, wherever you are in Sarawak. Take a walk on the wild side and enjoy traditional umai, a type of salad; sambal, the traditional salad dressing and of course, tuak or rice wine.

Ever seen Orang Ulu chopsticks? Not only will you see them here, you will get to use them on traditionally cooked sago. Immerse yourself into the culture. The Orang Ulu are magical story-tellers. Feel yourself transported into a parallel plane of legend and myth as they weave their stories and dance to the enchanting melody of the sape. After dinner, before the evening ends, delegates will be escorted through rainforest back to the hotel by Berawan warriors to the tune of the Orang Ulu song, “LeLeng”.

In the Malay Kampung Theme Party, delegates will experience the true hospitality of the Malay community. Be welcomed into the traditional Malay home with a traditional foot-washing ceremony before entering the threshold. On the floor of the dining area, a full spread of traditional Malay fare awaits the hungry delegate. Eat to your heart’s content, but not with eating utensils. Half the fun is in eating with your hands, Malay style.
Kampung Hospitality
04.
ADVENTURE BEGINS
After dinner, have a go at rokok apong, the traditional Malay cigarillo rolled with apong leaves and local tobacco. Feast your eyes to the merry joget dance. In fact, feel free to wade right in and dance with your hosts. Be wowed by the traditional martial art, the silat, and try your feet in sepak takraw, a traditional game of skill where a rattan ball is played only with the feet. It’s like a game of volleyball using only the feet and head to handle the ball.

Indian Culture It’s not all about headhunters and war expeditions. Delegates will have the opportunity to experience one of the oldest cultures in the world by way of Kuching’s small but vibrant Indian community. The Indian community is interwoven into the history of Sarawak. Indeed, it is said that the word ‘Kuching’ could have been derived from the Indian word cochin, meaning ‘port’or ‘harbour’. Hundreds of years ago, Indian seafarers were known to stop by this part of Sarawak via Santubong, using it is as a port of call through the Spice Islands. Intricate Indian temples dot cities throughout Sarawak, often tucked in discreet corners unknown to the uninitiated. Become honoured guests at an Indian temple and revel in the colourful culture of Sarawak’s Indian community. Be privy to a heartfelt welcome and join in the traditional Indian dances before digging in to a sumptuous Indian meal, traditional style. Get the camera ready for the beautiful and painstakingly created rice art as part of the welcoming ceremony.

This is no ordinary full-course dinner. You’ll be waited upon by waiters in full oil-rigger uniforms.

We can bring it to your doorstep.

Cocktails in the Caves It’s awesome to stand in the world’s largest cave chamber. And when it comes to giant caves, Mulu National Park has it all. Take a gander at the rock profile of Abraham Lincoln at Deer Cave, follow an underground river through Clearwater Cave, whose crystal clear waters mask the depths of the river running through it. Take in the amazing formations of King’s Chamber. Or just take a leisurely stroll as the sun sets to witness the exit of the Dragon. This is a massive column made out of millions of bats in flight, exiting Deer Cave for their nightly feeding ritual. In Niah National Park visit the oldest human settlement in Southeast Asia. Around 40,000 years ago, man settled in Niah Caves, built homes, hunted now-extinct giant animals, buried their dead and painted their story on the cave walls. Walk with edible birdsnest collectors and watch their death-defying feats to collect this Chinese delicacy. Fly south to Kuching and sit in with fairies in Fairy Cave, natural formations in the shapes of Chinese deities. Or listen to the song of the wind in Wind Cave. Have a cocktail at the caves, on us. We’ll bring the band along. The traditional band, of course. Nothing beats the marriage of the haunting sape with an outing to one of Sarawak’s magnificent caves.
07. Dine with the Rocks
On the Prowl in Cat City Kuching panders itself to all things feline and rightly so, for ‘Kuching’ means ‘cat’ in the Malay language. Cat statues and statuettes adorn city landmarks in a tasteful fashion. Indeed, the city proudly lays claim to having the first Cat Museum in the world. Celebrate the felinity of Kuching. Organize theme events in the name of cats. Throw a cat theme party at the grounds of the museum and have your guests dress up in cat masks, feline tails and all manner of ‘cattiness’. Eat your heart out, Andrew Lloyd Webber, because there is no better place in the world to celebrate the hit musical ‘Cats’ with ‘catty’ fashion shows, ‘Cats’ theme events and human felines slinking around in sassy costumes.

LOVER OF SARAWAK
Leo Biddle
Being in the midst of orangutans in Borneo is perhaps not the most obvious place for an Englishman to be. Yet, that is exactly where Leo Biddle has been for the last three years. Leo is a project coordinator for Way-Out-Experiences (WOX) in Sarawak, an international company whose goal is to craft special experiences for the adventurer in everyone. The company is based in the UK, but brings travellers to eco-havens in Southeast Asia. The uniqueness of WOX is in their hands-on commitment to saving wild animals. Wherever WOX goes, it finds common ground and works in partnership with local agencies to achieve their goals. This is where Leo steps in.
The Englishman in Borneo
Leo has been coordinating a small army of volunteers from overseas since his arrival in Sarawak three years ago. They are here to work with orangutans up close and personal, staying for one month at a time at Kuching’s Matang Wildlife Centre. There, they get up to their elbows in caring for the Centre’s animals, building and repairing better enclosures, and helping to rehabilitate orangutans back into the wild with the Centre’s staff. Leo is the man who oversees the logistics, training and activities for these volunteers. To date, he has overseen the arrival of more than 250 volunteers from all over the world to Matang. Amidst the madness of looking after volunteers, Leo is completely dedicated to his other wards, the orangutans and other animals at the Centre. When new babies are born, when one is ill or injured, he is there by their side, seeing them through the daily challenges they face as strangers in a human world. Every so often, he treks into the forest at the Centre to train young orangutans the jungle skills they need to survive in the wild.
ADVENTURE BEGINS
Leo has always had a determination to work with wildlife in a close and personal way. He put his life as an environmental consultant on hold, spending nine years in a Buddhist monastery in South Korea. There, he worked on the rehabilitation and release of dancing bears. It was then that he committed himself fully to working with wild animals, wherever this work might take him. He jumped at an opportunity to work with orangutans in Borneo through WOX, and he has been doing that since.
D18
Working with orangutans is special for Leo. He forges a personal relationship with each orangutan he cares for. The intelligence in their eyes reflect a savviness about them; and they communicate in an uncanny way through body language, seemingly so human and yet not so. This is what holds Leo captivated and committed to this place so far away from home. People romanticize the idea of working with wildlife. The reality is, saving nature is sheer hard work. Behind the romanticism is the labour, mud and personal sacrifices. It is all worth it though. Conservation is the end goal and that itself is rewarding in ways that most people do not realize. He hopes that more Sarawakians will take on that challenge and be more involved in wildlife conservation. He looks completely exhausted. He has forgone sleep for three days to care for a young orangutan; and he has also just handled a crocodile. This is an unlikely place to be for an Englishman, but this one is completely at home being surrounded by the offerings of nature in Borneo.
| LEO BIDDLE |
ADVENTURE BEGINS | D19
The idea of adventure is what draws people to Sarawak, Borneo; and then fall in love with the place again and again. Leo Biddle is the Englishman who found true adventure in Sarawak and stayed on for love of the land.

The Gem of Borneo Turn your attention to an outstanding venue in a most intriguing part of the world – Borneo Island. Located in the City of Kuching, on a vibrant new district – The Isthmus – is the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK). Just 8km from the City Centre, BCCK is the first convention centre on the island of Borneo. BCCK offers world class facilities for meetings and conventions for up to 5,000 delegates, banquets for two to 2,000 guests, as well as pillar-less exhibition and event space capable of flexible venue arrangements – from ceilings towering as high as 10m in the Great Hall, to rooms spanning as long as 48.5m. All these complimented by a multiethnic team of passionate professionals dedicated to making every event a success. Fall in love with its nature themed architecture – the trusses around BCCK are arranged to resemble tree branches; the roof of the entire BCCK is shaped like that of the ‘Ririk’ (Phacelophrynium maximum) as homage to one of the many common rainforest plants which have been used for centuries by the Dayaks of Borneo for wrapping rice and sustenance on their lengthy hunting trips. Support its green initiatives – architects and engineers made sure that all major elements of the building can be made locally; the roof was extended 11 m all around and glass panels are shaded with plants to reduce solar gains in the building to reduce energy consumption; local vegetation such as Cyathea latebrosa, Asplenium nidus and Cinnamomum iners have been used for landscaping. Immense yourself in the landscape that surrounds BCCK – the majestic Sarawak River flows along the East banks of the Centre. Watch boats slip lazily by from the marina located next-door. The ‘Nipah’ (Nypa fruticans) forest across is habitat to some mangrove fauna where, on occasion, you just might see a crocodile soaking up the sun on its banks or floating by. Come to BCCK and experience another level of Sarawakian hospitality and share it with the world.

Back to nature. Back to basics. Borneo Highlands Resort is based on our principle of Back to Nature, Back to Basics. Every little thing that we undertake takes into account the holistic well-being of our guests and the protection of our environment. We do this while providing our guests with all the creature comforts that is expected of a 5-star establishment. Borneo Highlands Resort is essentially a Nature and Golf Retreat to escape and recuperate from the hustle and bustle of the city. Our cuisine is meatless, with organic vegetables from our very own organic farm. The highland sceneries are rivaled by none, we are confident that everyone who has stepped into the resort would bear witness to this.
Location
Borneo Highlands Resort is just a leisurely 45-minute drive from Kuching International Airport or about 60 minutes from downtown Kuching. Along this stretch of road, there are the Pitcher Plant and Wild Orchid Park, Semonggok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, Forestry Research and Sarawak Biodiversity Centre, all of which are popular tourist stops. Nearer to Borneo Highland’s foothill, there are 2 major attractions, namely the Annah Rais Longhouse and the hot spring.
Meeting & Conference
We are a boutique resort when number of pax and meeting configuration are concerned. Our maximum sit-down theatre style conference in the indoor function rooms is 40 pax. Our unique feature is our advantage to be able to set-up an alfresco meeting venue. Taking cue from our mild weather of 18 to 28 degree celcius and the breathtaking sceneries, we can offer the alternative of setting up an alfresco meeting venue which can be located in a calm and serene surrounding.
Recreation
Guests will also have recreation facilities at their disposal during free time such as golf and spa. Borneo Highlands Resort’s golf course is built to blend into the rainforest surrounding and has the reputation of being one of the most beautiful and challenging course at the same time.

son OF SARAWAK
Chiew Chung Yee Aspirations of becoming an architect was the most logical thing for the boy whose father was a building contractor. So Chiew Chung Yee’s journey from small-town Sarawak to a degree in architecture from Australia did not seem too unexpected a path. Yet that journey has brought Chiew to a place today where he is poised to facilitate the building of homes for communities in need. For Chiew has been involved in Habitat for Humanity in Sarawak since 1998, and is a member of both the national and Kuching boards for the organization.
Passion for Hope
Habitat for Humanity is an international non-profit organization whose mission is to build simple, decent and affordable housing in partnership with people in need. The Kuching chapter of Habitat for Humanity was established in 1998. Since then, more than 50 houses have been built through sheer hard work, commitment and dedication shown by Habitat volunteers. There is no profit to be made, nor any interest to be earned from Habitat houses. Neither are the houses a charity given to people. The families for whom the houses are built contribute the sweat of their brow to the work as well; and there is a repayment process, at cost. Habitat for Humanity in Kuching has received tremendous response from the public. People from all walks of life have come to Sarawak and volunteered to build Habitat houses. It matters not that most are not builders by profession. A common thread runs through Habitat projects. It is about building communities and fostering hope. It is about the human bond and enriching lives and life experiences. Above all, there is a love for humanity that binds these people towards the Habitat vision.
VENUES & ACCOMMODATION
Amidst an already hectic schedule, Chiew manages to shepherd Habitat projects and explore new avenues for the organization in Kuching, the latest of which is facilitating new Habitat affiliates through local universities. Students in these affiliates will be able to get credit points for their course. But, more than anything, Chiew hopes that these students will learn the value of giving to community, and to understanding what it means to be part of one.
E38
There is an idea to engage visitors as volunteers for Habitat projects when they attend conferences and conventions in Kuching. Chiew is excited about this possibility. For him, this is a chance to share the building of hope and the connecting of lives. If he were granted one wish, he would like to see Habitat building more houses and quicker in Kuching; and he would like to see more people helped through Habitat for Humanity. His office is pleasant, tasteful and full of light, just like the man. There is an infectious passion in him when he talks. He is fully present in all that he does – his faith, his work, Habitat for Humanity. He would be embarrassed under any limelight. Even this one. He would rather encourage people to believe in a sense of purpose in life, to not only exist for a living but to live to the fullest, to be excited about life, and to be enriched through this philosophy. Once a upon a time, he had an opportunity to pursue success away from Sarawak. He gave it up because this is home. This is where he comes from and where he returns to; and where he gives back to community.
| CHIEW CHUNG YEE |
The world is all about venues and locations. What’s so special about the venue called Sarawak? Ask Chiew Chung Yee. Providence took him far from home. A heart of faith and love for home brought him back and inspired him to give back to his people.

daughter OF SARAWAK
Dr Lulie Meling
Over 70% of the world’s tropical peat swamp forests occur in Southeast Asia, and over 1.7 million hectares in Sarawak is made up of peat. Peat is a tricky thing to understand, and most of the time, very misunderstood. It is a dark, highly organic soil made up of decayed vegetation. Tropical peatlands are very important, but cover only 25% of the earth. They store such enormous amounts of carbon that disturbing them without understanding their mechanics would release unimaginable amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. There is only one person in Malaysia who is the authority, specialist and expert when it comes to understanding peat soil and greenhouse gases. She is Dr Lulie Meling, researcher and scientist in charge of the Tropical Peat Research Laboratory Unit in Kuching. Her research is ceaseless and in-depth, her science is sound, and her work is so respected that scientists from all over the world flock to hear what she has to say.
The Iron Butterfly
Dr Lulie’s specialty is in finding out sustainable ways to make peat areas in Sarawak development-friendly. This means that she has to look into how carbon is released when peat areas are developed, so she has been studying the mechanics of greenhouse gases in tandem with peat soil. The calibre of her work defends Sarawak and Malaysia against misconceptions about the subject of. People listen because her science is solid and she lets the data speak for itself.
PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS & SERVICES
But the road Lulie has walked to reach the top of her game has never been paved with roses. It has taken her years of blood, sweat and tears to arrive at the pinnacle of an industry dominated by men. Her dogged tenacity for professional perfection is such that her office has become her second home. She often sacrifices weekends and family time for the office. The laboratory does not wait, she says. But she has worked out an understanding with her loved ones – teamwork. And that has kept the balance for Dr Lulie Meling, family woman and senior scientist.
F42
Her commitment to her work is indisputable, and it springs from a love for the absolute nature of data, facts and research. Undoubtedly because of that, her wish if she were granted one, would be for the establishing of a research institute and council for peat in Sarawak. She strives for the sheer love of the work. For her, it is not about promotion, nor fame, nor recognition. We asked her if she had any advice for young people with their lives ahead of them. Her reply was succinct and to the point. “Believe in your dreams and fight for them. Never give up.” Dr Lulie Meling is tough as nails. There is no nonsense about her. She has no qualms about wading up to her neck in peat swamps and she has fought many times harder than anyone else to be the front-runner in her field. Her friends call her the Wild Native Borneo Girl. She is not afraid to stand up and fight for what she believes. But beyond the battle scars and the tough exterior she displays, there is evidence to another side of the woman. A cactus sits on her windowsill, given by her friends. It reminds them of her, a force of nature who often presents a tough, thorny surface but is every bit as soft as the inside of the cactus.
| DR LULIE MELING |
Amidst the adventure and originality of Sarawak lies corporate professionalism of international standards. Wading through dense forests, peat swamps and then blazes her way through conferences worldwide, Dr Lulie Meling lives out that very adventure and professionalism in tandem.
