Most of us uses the almanac just to plan our upcoming holidays which in most cases ties in with public holidays.  Others such as the Chinese uses it to find corresponding dates in the Lunar calendar; Muslims uses it to identify corresponding dates in the Hijrah calendar.  Those in the marine industries will be checking on the timing of high tides in respective locations, and there are those who tracks moon phases and events.  Sometimes there are annual events which are not public holidays but noted in the almanac too.  All-in-all, I believe everyone can find some use in the almanacs.  Knowing the frustration in getting own copy from the very limited supplies out there (which is only printed once a year), am putting up my copy of the almanac here to help those who can’t get their own copy on a timely manner – yes, these Sarawak Government Almanac 2012 is now just starting to appear in local bookstore or magazine stalls.

P/S: According to the almanac, looks like Deepavali is still not a public holiday here in Sarawak.

This is in response to my previous experience in getting a copy of these Sarawak Almanacs.

Just drop me a comment if you feel this is worth your time.  Thanks.

I’m one of the many individuals that gets annoyed badly when unable to purchase a copy of the Sarawak Government Almanac each year. Mind you, limited copies of the almanacs are released sometime in December or January in the state and only a selected few knows when it will be out. Anyway if you are lucky, you may find some of them at your local bookshop or magazine stalls. Else you will resort to ask some kind people (again, they are also limited) working in various government departments to make a photocopy from their only almanac in the office. These official almanacs are only a hot product during the beginning of the year, after which you will never see them being sold anymore. Anyway, I’ve spent an hour doing this for fellow Sarawakians (prefer to think of this as a noble cause instead of plagiarism). If you want a copy for yourself, please buy it from the proper place – if you can find it in the first place.
