While a bit tedious, you'll get lots of "from the ground" information on the malaysia.net website at http://malaysia.net

Specific areas: Sarawak Talk - you may want to post there as well at http://www.malaysia.net/sarawak Sangkancil - click onto to it from http://malaysia.net and do go through the archived messages

Yes, you will hear some about the development plans but more about how and why they went awry :-)

If I were you I'd participate in Sarawak Talk for a few months and get a feel for the views of the different ethnic, political and apolitical groups there.
