MASJA etc etc is there) For me, it's not synonomous, for Kuching North extends all the way up north till Santubong.

The boundaries between Kuching North and Kuching South are marked by the big white cat statue and the Holiday Inn Hotel. Petra Jaya is Kuching's suburb and the seat of the state government. It is the northern bank of the Sarawak River. It is named after the sixth King of Malaysia, Sultan Yahya Petra who ruled from 1975 to his death in 1979. He was the sultan of Kelantan. It was during his reign that Petra Jaya was mooted by the then chief minister Tun Abdul Rahman Yaakub, the uncle of the incumbent chief minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud. Coincidentally, both Abdul Rahman and Abdul Taib are related to Sultan Yahya Petra. A great, great grandfather of Abdul Rahman was a prince of Kelantan and he married into the Melanau aristocracy in Sibu, to produce the family of Abdul Rahman and his elder sister, the mother of Abdul Taib. Sultan Yahya Petra's son Sultan Ismail Petra, the present sultan of Kelantan, is set to be elected deputy king of Malaysia in 2006 and king in 2011.
