There is a little known interesting history of Sarawak in Borneo. In the late 19th century, there was a British adventurer called James Brooke who helped the Brunei Sultan fight off pirates. As gratitude for the effort, the Brunei Sultan gifted the land that is today Sarawak to James Brooke, who became the first "White Rajah" (White King) of Sarawak. So yeah, this British dude sailed halfway around the world on an adventure, fought some pirates, and then became king of the land. The dynasty lasted 3 generations, ending with the Japanese occupation in World War 2. After the war, the Brooke family handed Sarawak over to the British Crown. Sarawak later joined the Malaysian Federation in 1963.

[@yazyaz2969]

Interesting story, btw why Brooke handed his land to British? Is it because he is from British?

[@bangscutter]

@@yazyaz2969 Yes, he is British. Sarawak was also liberated by Commonwealth forces after WW2, so it was also practical to hand over the administration to the British, since the Commonwealth forces were already occupying the place post-WW2. Probably no longer interested to become ruler of the land, especially since nationalism and independence movements were stirring up in former European colonies post-WW2 around the world.

Balikpapan, Indonesian city in Kalimantan can be translated Balik = "Turned" (as in turned upside-down or reversed); Papan = "Board"; Balik Papan = "Turned Board" 3. Palangka Raya, a former new capital candidate of Indonesia means Palangka = Sacred, Raya = Great, Palangka Raya = "Great Sacred Site" 4. Pontianak, Indonesian city in west kalimantan, is said to be similar to Indonesian ghost of Kuntilanak or Malaysian ghost of Pontianak, which means Woman died in childbirth (Puan Mati Beranak, Pon ti anak).

When I heard of Sabah, I was hoping to hear some banana reference, because here in a neighboring country, we have a banana type called "sabá", and I assume that it must be similar to malaysian.

[@Pr0fane26]

But for me, it doesn't seem add up tho. Cuz the phrase "serah kepada awak" is in official Malay. And Sarawakians during that period hasn't accepted Malay as their official language just yet. I can confirm this myself cuz I'm a native malay from Sarawak. Instead, my ancestors used "bahasa melayu sarawak" which is basically, the language spoken by the Bornean Malays (who have little to no relation to the Peninsular Malays). I may not be completely correct though so take this opinion with a grain of salt.

New New Milo and in Old English, ‘hal’ which sounds like ‘hell’ means ‘whole’ or ‘wholeness’. And upon typing this, I can see how ‘hell’ can be equated to being a ‘hole’ phonetically. Don’t wanna sound too religious or spiritual, but perhaps once we can embrace the ‘hole’ or ‘hell’ within we can be ‘whole’ again and enter ‘hal’.
