Many still in the dark, divided over Sarawak Day

AS Sarawak marks the day it was granted self-governance, it will attempt to recreate the historic scene 54 years ago, when the Union Jack was lowered for the last time and the red, black and yellow flag of post-colonial Sarawak flew on its own.

The date was July 22, 1963. The scene, Pengkalan Batu at Kuching’s popular waterfront.
