It's better to bring your passport so the immigration can just stamp it. If you just use your IC, you can misplace the visa slip and you'll have to make a police report. You'll then have to wait to get a letter first before you can fly back. The question wasn't even funny.

Can drive to Indonesia (from Kuching) or Brunei (from Miri) then re-enter Sarawak to reset. But the cheapest way may be a return flight to JB/KLIA.

Your grandfathers already agreed in Malaysia Agreement 1963.
Sarawakians and Sabahans can enter freely into Malaya, there is no immigration control at KLIA. Can live and work in Malaya.

No need, part of the 20 point agreement:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20-point_agreement

The agreement allows Sabah and Sarawak to control entrance into the states thus the visa limit for west Malaysians. If want to argue what's fair or not fair, long story (oil royalty is one such). Let's leave it as that and to be honest nothing for you to be excited about as until now, you don't even know there's a limit meaning it doesn't affect you at all.

For visiting purpose, IC saja boleh, but max 3 months per entry. Passport pun boleh, suka hati kau.

For working purpose, apply passport biru. Renew every 5 years.

Long term? khawin and jamin by local.

A lot of West Malaysians (female) married to Sarawakians already got "K" status in I/C. They can stay in Sarawak forever, can freely enter Sarawak with I/C.

From my limited knowledge
- Family members of any government servants, that posted to s&s can apply for special pass. No need to exit every 3 months. Not sure about private sector thou.

- if the children are studying in s&s, the children can apply study pass. Their parents also eligible to apply pass to accompany the children.


But these are not really "long term"
