Background

Kuching was awarded city status on 1st August 1988, becoming the second Malaysian city after Kuala Lumpur. Because Kuching is large, it was divided into two administrative areas, Dewan Bandaraya Kuching Utara (DBKU) and Majlis Bandaraya Kuching Selatan (MBKS). The northern part of the city is under DBKU and the southern under MBKS.

Having started with only eight on the payroll in August 1988, DBKU now has 1007 officers employed ; 35 professionals full time staff, 696 support staff and 276 daily paid workers.

The first Mayor was Datu Dr. Yusoff Haji Hanifah (1988-1994), the second was Datu Haji Awang Ehsan Joini (1995 - 2000), the third was Tn. Haji Madehi Haji Kolek (2001- 2004), the fourth was Datu Abdul Hamid b. Mohd. Yusoff (2005-2007) and the current mayor is YBhg. Tuan Haji Mohamad Atei Abang Medaan. Since its inception DBKU has always tried to develop the city well so that its inhabitants may be proud of it. As the capital of Sarawak, DBKU has tried to make Kuching a clean town to promote a good image of Sarawak, especially to foreign visitors.

Kuching City is populated by people of many races such as Malays, Chinese, Iban, Bidayuh and Melanau each with their different cultural backgrounds making it very interesting to tourists both foreign and domestic. Kuching also has many parks and historical landmarks.
