Sarawak of course more richer in terms of resources and wealth just that they more laidback like Australia. More land and lesser people. Less crimes too. Life is easier. Closer to Australia also. Cheap beer and lower cost of living.

Kuching is very cheap to live in, but property prices have been increasing quite a bit. Kolo mee is the benchmark but laksa can be double in price.

Also, remember that Borneo is an island so everything that is not local is more expensive than KL, as you'll need to cover the shopping costs etc. Same for flights to anywhere, you normally need to add KCH-KL leg and the time.

A non Sarawakian would need a permit, pass, or visa to stay long term... even if you marry a local. The bright side is, if you marry a Sarawakian bumi, your children will be bumi.

Sabah is actually politicized by Bumis for controlling the parliamentary seats that's the only reason why they keep concentrating development there.
In terms of resources and wealth don't underestimate Sarawakians. Lots of rich Chinese families from there who owns estates and commodities due to the vast natural resources there.

Depends on whether you're Chinese or Bumi or not. Pork seems to be no issue in Kuching just like Penang, it's a Chinese community stronghold. If you're Bumi, KK will be better choice for you. Lots of illegal Filipinos there though and also higher crime rates.

Property prices still no where at Penang and Klang Valley areas. Too many unsold condominium units because got lots of land, if not wrong Kuching city land area is the largest among all major Malaysian cities. People prefer to live in landed.
