The Sarawak Mutiny of 1946: A Colony's Last Stand
In 1946, the White Rajahs of Sarawak ceded their kingdom to the British Crown, but a group of young Malay officers refused to accept it. The Sarawak Mutiny, led by the charismatic Rahim Bakar, saw the assassination of the second British governor, Duncan Stewart, and a wave of arrests that reshaped the colony's political future. This episode untangles the motives behind the cession, the short-lived uprising, and its aftermath — including the trial and execution of the mutineers, and how their defiance became a rallying cry for Sarawak's own independence movement. Join Lucas and Luna as they explore a forgotten chapter of Malaysian history that connects military discipline, colonial politics, and the birth of local nationalism.
