Lady with a kebab starting in Malaysia (7)
I believe the answer is:
sarawak
'in malaysia' is the definition.
('Sarawak' is part of 'malaysia')
'lady with a kebab starting' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'lady' could be 'sara' and 'sara' is located in the answer.
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is found within the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
A single letter 'k' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sarawak that I've seen before include "State within Borneo" , "Region of NW Borneo" , "island state" , "Region in N. Borneo" , "State of Malaysia" .)
