I see all the British hate here and yes it is justified. Except, in this case as Sir james Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak was a chill and great dude. After he took the throne He was asked to join the common wealth which he declined and ruled Sarawak peacefully for his citizens (not so much for the rebels and pirates) and was loved by the locals.

Another fun fact, Brunei also used to be much bigger in the mid 19th century. They lost a lot of land to Sarawak (which was controlled by James and Charles Brooke, aka the White Rajahs) and Sabah (back then was called North Borneo), 2 states that eventually became part of Malaysia

Brunei had an uprising and white guy decided to help the brunians and successfully crush it. Brunei sultan back then say cool for helping us and make him the governor of Kuching or something along the lines. And he eventually created an independent kingdom of Sarawak. This was known as the white rajah period of Sarawak. I forgotten much about it because I did it to pass and not to learn. Regret not keeping the info.

One word: pirates. In a nutshell: white guy saves a sultanate from piracy and insurgency. Sultan gratified his work by giving him land. Said white guy then establishes his own rajahite state. Hence the only time where a white guy ruled over a state without backlash. Of course Malay historians don’t like portraying him as a better leader. In the federation he is vilified. Sarawakians counter the federal narrative by having Peninsular Malaysians show their passport upon entering their state while their people just needed to show their identity cards.

Also after James Brooke became the first Rajah, he decided to expand his region, fully continued by his son, Charles Brooke Bruneian Sultanate size originally from the near westernmost of Sarawak (except Kuching) and half of Sabah, but because of the conquest by Charles and British North Borneo Company, they only got what's left, which is their current form of the country

The architecture feels like it's a series of buildings built by rich people to make themselves feel better, not to look after the population. The taxi driver I met on my second trip was delightful, but he was saving to move out of the country.
