Bust of Charles Rajah left surrounded by his name and title..

Charles Brooke (1829–1917) was the second White Rajah of Sarawak, ruling from 1868 until his death in 1917. The nephew of James Brooke, the first White Rajah, Charles expanded and strengthened the kingdom, consolidating its borders and modernizing its administration. He promoted infrastructure development, including the construction of roads, schools, and hospitals, while also maintaining a firm grip on power through a structured civil service. Despite his authoritarian rule, he sought to protect Sarawak from external colonial ambitions, resisting British direct control. His reign saw significant economic growth, particularly in the trade of oil, rubber, and other resources. Charles Brooke's leadership laid the foundation for Sarawak’s later development, and he remains a pivotal figure in the region’s colonial history.
