I was at RAF Kuching in 1965 to 1966, based at the transmitter site Batu Kitang. I still have wonderful memories of the people I met there, especially Kathy. I compare my memories of Sarawak with the images on Google Earth and I'm amazed at the development of Kuching, reaching far out into areas that were dense jungle. I had friends in Kuching, Haji Baki and Kampong Semaba. Greetings to you all. Denis
hello denis.. please come to kuching, sarawak. have a good sunset here.
I was in lower secondary school in Kuching in the early 60’s. At that time, Sarawak was being milked by the English. Now Sarawak has a new colonial master, the Malayans from Kuala Lumpur. Corruption is rampant and flagrant. Corrupt high officials are strutting around, blatantly. I have given up on Sarawak.
We will take it back.
I live in Kampung Semeba
I was born in Kuching in 1970, but now live in the UK!!!! It's so nice to see what it looked like in 1960!!!! It was pretty similar to when I was a child in the '70s, so it brought back many happy memories!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Really!?, that's awesome! how does the people in the UK treat you? is it lovely?
@@NormanThe_FreedomHope22-5 In general, the people here are lovely!! Wherever you go, you find good and bad people!! I think that if you treat those around you kindly, most of the time, you'll receive kindness in return!!
Happy New Year, friend!!👍🎊🥳
@@nadiabrook7871 Thanks for telling! I hope you have a great day in there!, also happy late new year to you too my mate! :)
Dear Mr. MichaelRogge, am personally very please and thankful to you for uploading all those rare videos especially on Kuching, Sarawak. Before these most of us only got a glimps of the past through still pictures taken by our families. My late father was also in the police force both during and after the British. He retired in 1984. He used to tell us stories of how kuching was back then. Especially with regards to the Police force which he loved most. Thank you Sir for sharing. Please convey my gratitude to the owner of the film. May the family and you bestowed with happiness always.
Thanks. Well said !
I believe this film will bring back a lot of memory of the people related and also it shows the world Kuching in 1960. 50 years ago, even a young boy became an old man and most old man be history. These old men became dust in the air, but now thanks to Mr. Rogge, these dust, these unidentified dust becomes part of us, part of our history. Its value far beyond physical treasure

Hi, just looking at the footage, my adopted father brought me from London to Kuching around 1955 until moving to Sydney and boarding school in 1963. He was also in the police as Superintendent at the same time as your father after serving in the Royal Navy during the war. Unfortunately he passed away in 2006. Take care.
Amazing footage - thanks for sharing this.

Again Mr. Rogge. You do not disappoint :)
Do you recognize the British police-officer and his wife?
Really, yeah?
Yep,, that is Serian,, not far from the waterfall, best picnic area..

Thank you for capturing and sharing the beautiful memories of Kuching and Sarawak. ❤️ God bless you.
First time I went to Kuching was in 1981. Then as a student. Later in mid 1980s, as a legalofficer of an oil&gas company. Kuching is so developed now days.
Amazing. I have film from my Dad from the same year in Malaya.
Please upload the film ,sir.
Thanks for the beautiful memories of Sarawak ,only problem was that my father was not allowed to enter Sarawak club in the 60s because he was a local not a white Anglo saxon.Grateful to be independent now the local can enter Sarawak club without discrimination.
Most of the landmarks here were still exist and even actively used as I grow up in Kuching during the 1970s especially during the late 70s thru 1985
Now I already live at work in Miri resort city as a 51 year old
Stunning and interesting . Very reserved. I thought the lady was Royalty. These special days are long gone 😪 sad . Love borneo , saba and Sarawak .. we first went to kuching and then on to Batang Ai twenty years ago .
Wow,It was very peaceful back then
It was very peaceful. Laid back as well, except for the hustle and bustle of the night durian markets by the wharves!
So lovely to see how sarawak use to looks like in nearly 60s, I'm as a pary of youth generation will always embracing my history, roots, culture, and traditions,
How i wish Sarawak became like new Zealand, Mix of tradition and Western society!

The big tree in Serian still standing till now.
Life was much simpler then. Antique car only for the “well to do” those days. Much has changed or “improved”
Morris Minors, 28" bicycles and no traffic jams. I miss those days
Sarawak should be one of several British Overseas Territories today. Who supports me?
San Jalaton Town 1960s
👑7ING
If only we allowed British to stay longer in Sarawak.
We will use dollar now yeahhh
We also need a white population too for our economy, work together with fellow Dayak in Sarawak
People saw colonial greed thus, fought for Merdeka. Move fwd to the 21st century….our own politician were accused of corruption. Goshhhh!!!! We destroyed ourselves despite calling ourselves civilized society now.
until this very day theyre still crazy white people walking around under the 100degree sun here in kuching 🤣🤣
Music Is Spongebob
This was the time we were still under the White Rajah... Great great time!!!
