About Berawan
Berawan is a tribe in Sarawak. The Loagan Bunut National Park has a community of this tribe numbering around 1000 people.
The Berawan people have had a conflict with the Sarawak State Government over land dispute. As they live close to the Gunung Mulu National Park, they were upset when a Japanese hotel chain constructed a luxurious hotel near their settlement. A conflict erupted when the resort made plans to construct a 200-acre golf course on what the Berawan tribe claim to be their ancestral land. The state government took the side of the hotel. According to the Berawan, it is because family members of the Sarawak chief minister have significant stakes in the hotel.
