BINTULU IS HOME

Elder Lloyd's mum here. It's probably evident that I am missing my son very much. He's been volunteering on the other side of the planet for over 19 months, most recently in a place called Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia. Since I've never visited there (and probably never will), I've been searching YouTube for anything that could give me a flavor of his temporary home. This beautiful video produced by a Bintulu native, who apparently is also away from his beloved home, touched my heart and reminded me that there truly is "no place like home."

MALAYSIA - 27 Million People

Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy with an elected federal parliamentary government. The country comprises 13 states, 11 on the Malay Peninsula and two, Sabah and Sarawak, on the island of Borneo. There are also three federally administered territories: the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, the administrative center of Putrajaya, and the island of Labuan. Malaysia is a multi-ethnic country of 27 million people. Malays form the predominant ethnic group; the two other large ethnic groups are Chinese and Indians. Islam is the official religion and is practiced by some 60 percent of the population. Bahasa Malaysia is the official language, although English is widely spoken.
