Sarawak, along with Sabah, forms East Malaysia. This is in contrast to Peninsular (West) Malaysia. The South-east China Sea separates the two sides of Malaysia. Sarawak and Sabah have a rather debatable and controversial status within Malaysia, you may read more about it. But geographically, they are both situated on Borneo Island. Sarawak is the more Southwestern side compared to Sabah. Between the two states is the sovereign nation of Brunei.

You may recognize the name "Borneo" more. Basically Borneo Island is separated to a few chunks, the "head" being Sabah, a huge chunk belonging to Indonesia, another chunk being Sarawak, and another part being Brunei. Sabah and Sarawak are separated from Indonesia by mountain ranges. Her coordinates are 2.30N 113.15E.
