| No trip to Sarawak is complete without a visit to the Sarawak Cultural Village You knew that sentence was coming! |
I read the above quote in the blue 'passport' that
was handed out to me when I walked through the
gates of the Sarawak Cultural Village. "A fun place
to be, with friendly people and everything works".
Now, that works for me too, an interactive cultural
experience.
The passport describes this 'Living Museum' as a
17 1/2 acre sprawling expanse at the foothills of the
legendary Mount Santubong, fronting the South
China Sea. What a perfect spot. I am thrilled to be
here.
As I make my way to the restaurant which is just
inside the gates, I am greeted by Jane Lian Labang,
the General Manager of the Sarawak Cultural
Village. Just the person I wanted to meet. Wow!
What a personality! Very friendly and so filled with
passion for the Sarawak Cultural Village.
Jane says: Culture and traditions come from nature.
Keeping culture and traditions alive is respecting
nature, in a way. This 'Living Museum' respects
nature and provides a space for culture to continue.
In an age of virtual communication, there needs to
be a place where our culture can stay alive,
keeping with it all the traditions for us to appreciate.
It is important to know our culture. For sometime
during our lifetime, we will ask ourselves this
question. "Who am I and why am I here"? With the
Sarawak Cultural Village, we can go back to our
roots and identify ourselves. It is then we know that
we are not lost. It is also then we remember the
words of our parents regarding our heritage. "I
remember my father told me about......."

The Sarawak Cultural Village is not only an attraction, it is also a
community of artists. Here artists keep the traditions and crafts
alive while earning a living.
