Abstract:
This is a case study focused on the evolution of the economy of the Malaysian state of Sarawak since the formation of Malaysia on 16 September 1963. It was carried out by examining the life experiences of a small group of students who first entered the new government secondary school in Lawas, Sarawak in January of 1966. Thirty-three of the 38 former students2, from three distinct ethnic groups, were interviewed, with a focus on i) their parents’ occupations and social and economic circumstances; ii) the students’ backgrounds, their career paths, their locations, the role of their faith communities in their education and their careers, and their experiences in and with the public and private sectors in Sarawak; and iii) the educational, occupational and locational choices of the adult children of the original students.
