Definition of "Sarawak"

In other parts of the Nanyang the Chinese were never prominent in Communist Parties except, later, in Sarawak, where the local Chinese Communist faction attempted with little success to gain control of the Sarawak United Peoples’ Party (S.U.P.P.), a party largely Chinese-supported, which emerged as one of the legal political parties after Sarawak obtained self-government in 1956.
