  • Gawai Dayak Festival
    GAWAI DAYAK FESTIVAL The Gawai Dayak festival is celebrated yearly on 1 June in Sarawak, is both a religious and social festival. Gawaj means ritual or festival and Dayak is a collective name for the tribes of Iban, Bidayuh, Kayan, Kenyah, Kelabit, Murut and more. Tracing its roots back to as early as 1957, the Gawai Dayak festival was formally gazetted on 25 September, 1964 as a public holiday in place of Sarawak Day. The first official celebration being on 1 June, 1965, Gawai Dayak became a symbol of unity, aspiration and hope for the Dayak community and is an integral part of Dayak social life today. Preparations for the festival begin early with brewing of tuak (rice wine) and traditional delicacies like penganan (cakes from rice flour, sugar and coconut milk). On Gawai eve, glutinous rice is roasted in bamboo known as ngelulun pulut. The celebration starts on the evening of 31 May with a ceremony called Muai Antu Rua (to cast away the spirit of greediness), signifying the non- interference of the spirit of bad luck in the celebrations. Two children or men each dragging a chapan (winnowing basket) will pass each family’s room in the Iban longhouse with each family throwing unwanted articles into the basket. The unwanted articles are then tossed to the ground from the end of the longhouse for the spirit of bad luck. Around 6pm, the offering ceremony known as miring will take place, with ritual music; gendang rayah being performed beforehand. The feast chief will thank the gods for the good harvest, ask for guidance, blessings and long life as he sacrifices a cockerel.

    206 Reviews EILEEN CHANIN, Limbang Rebellion. Seven Days in December 1962. Singapore: Ridge Books, 2013 (reprinted by Pen & Sword Military, 2014). XXII, 249 pages, $28.00. ISBN 978-9971-69-775-4 (pbk) This book is family history, military history, colonial history and political history in one. The rebellion of the title took place in Borneo during the decolonisation era. The author, Eileen Chanin from the University of New South Wales, is a prize-winning historian. Her new book, many years in the making, is based on extensive research in Sarawak (Malaysia), Singapore, Australia and the United Kingdom (pp. 205–36). She also trawled the archives of the Imperial War Museum, the Royal Marines and the Mill Hill Missionaries. Telling use is made of her own family’s papers: her parents-in-law were Richard and Dorothy Morris, an Australian in the British Colonial Service and his wife, who were taken hostage by rebels in Sarawak in 1962. They were released unharmed following military action by a vastly outnumbered detachment of Royal Marines. Five com- mandos were killed and six wounded during the engagement. Captain Richard Holywell Morris OBE SMB (1915–2000), an only child of Anglo-Welsh heritage, with but a “patchy education” (p. 28), arrived in Borneo in 1945 with the Australian Imperial Force. After the war he was appointed to the Sarawak Civil Service, in which he served until his retirement in 1964. By November 1962, when he took up his appointment as Resident (administrator) of the Limbang District, he had worked in all five administrative divisions of the crown colony, in addition to a long spell (1954–8) in neighbouring Brunei.
