Cultural Diversity

One of the most attractive features of the state of Sarawak and one which sets it aside from many of the other Malaysian states is its cultural diversity. With the 27 distinct indigenous ethnic groups that speak 45 different languages and dialects, Sarawak can be proud to boast racial harmony amongst a population of 2.1 million who adhere to a variety of traditions, practices and religions. In Miri alone one can see the diverse cultures and traditions.

With such a melting pot of customs and cultures, Mirians enjoy a variety of colorful festivals throughout the calendar year. The cultural diversity also allows Miri to be one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region.
