Persatuan Kayan Sarawak:

PKS The Acronym was developed in 1993 by fellow Kayans residing in Kuching and Miri. The founders faced lots of challenges among tribal leaders trying to buy in the concept of the acronym-PKS. Not until in 1996, to be exact that was on 25-02-1996 when protem committees were set up during a gathering dinner in rumah orang ulu in Kuching.

The former Telang usan house of representative Dato' Joseph Balan Seling was there and very supportive of it. Few other orang ulu tribal representative were there.e.g Mr Morris Kapong from rurum Kelabits and Mr David Ejau from Lun Bawang Association. From here things sailed smoothly by establishing the HQ in Kuching and almost all the protem committes were from Kuching. The following year PKS was registered and properly constitutional under the ROS law on 13 August 1997.
