SARAWAK Head of State Tun Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaffar has invited history experts and researchers from throughout Malaysia to come to Sarawak and dig deeper into the state's history.
Governor Junaidi said there is still plenty of historical information about Sarawak's past still waiting to be discovered.
"Sarawak has a very interesting history dating back many centuries.
"There is much more for us to explore and learn and record down, not just about the era after the Brooke Rajah rule but before the arrival of the Brookes.
"We invite local history scholars to help us do more intense research about our past.
"We must record down as much as we can and include them into our history records," he said when meeting several history experts who paid him a courtesy call.
The State Public Communications Unit quoted Governor Junaidi as saying that history subjects should also be expanded in the education syllabus.
He said Sarawak, with its huge land area and dozens of ethnic groups and races have so many different historical backgrounds that will excite history enthusiasts.
Sarawak is as big as the peninsula and has 32 ethnic groups. - October 25, 2024
