  • MISC. HERITAGE NEWS –March to July 2017
    MISC. HERITAGE NEWS –March to July 2017 What did we spot on the Sarawak and regional heritage scene in the last five months? SARAWAK Land clearing observed early March just uphill from the Bongkissam archaeological site, Santubong, raised alarm in the heritage-sensitive community because of the known archaeological potential of the area (for example, uphill from the shrine, partial excavations undertaken in the 1950s-60s at Bukit Maras revealed items related to the Indian Gupta tradition, tentatively dated 6 to 9th century). The land in question is earmarked for an extension of Santubong village. The bulldozing was later halted for a few days for Sarawak Museum archaeologists to undertake a rapid surface assessment, conclusion of which was that “there was no (…) artefact or any archaeological remains found on the SPK site” (Borneo Post). Greenlight was subsequently given by the Sarawak authorities to get on with the works. There were talks of relocating the shrine and, in the process, it appeared that the Bongkissam site had actually never been gazetted as a heritage site. In an e-statement, the Sarawak Heritage Society mentioned that it remained interrogative and called for due diligences rules in preventive archaeology on development sites for which there are presumptions of historical remains. Dr Charles Leh, Deputy Director of the Sarawak Museum Department mentioned an objective to make the Santubong Archaeological Park a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2020. (our Nov.2016-Feb.2017 Newsletter reported on this latter project “Extension project near Santubong shrine raises concerns” – Borneo Post, 22 March 2017 “Bongkissam shrine will be relocated” – Borneo post, 23 March 2017 “Gazette Bongkissam shrine as historical site” - Borneo Post.

  • MISC. HERITAGE NEWS – Aug-Sept-Oct 2016 SARAWAK
    MISC. HERITAGE NEWS – Aug-Sept-Oct 2016 SARAWAK The Brooke Gallery, Fort Margherita and the new “Urang Sarawak” exhibition at the Sarawak Museum opened in September, just 4 days apart. Both are valuable additions to the Sarawak history and heritage scene. We reproduce below our web articles of 29 and 31 Oct. 2016 on these exhibits. The Brooke Gallery is a joint effort of the Brooke Heritage Trust, Sarawak’s Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, and its Museum Department. It “showcases the history of Sarawak under its White Rajahs with a focus on the many community leaders who worked together with (the Brooke) family to build the foundations of the state” writes Jason Brooke, who heads the Brooke Trust. An interesting part of the exhibition illustrates the -not so well known by the younger generations- anti-cession movement that developed when Sarawak was ceded by the Brooke to the British Crown as a colony at the end of WW2 – in a global context where the decolonization movement had already developed across the British Empire. The Gallery’s clean and lean presentation, and Fort Margherita itself, which was built by the Brookes and which benefitted from quality conservation works a few years ago, form now a key heritage landmark. The project has mobilized a group of enthusiastic volunteers, known as the “Fort Rangers”. And colonial style “tea party” was organized by the Friends of Sarawak Museum on the day of the Gallery’s inauguration. Naturally, historical legacies such the century of Brooke rule will always remain subject to discussion, as was recalled by a demonstration, on the day Gallery inauguration by a local group –which made Sarawak’s Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture point out that the gallery did not seek to glorify the Brookes, adding: “History is still history and we cannot erase them from us.

  • On 30 April 2014 Field Trip to Fort Alice Eye-Opener for Unimas Students
    on 30 April 2014 Field trip to Fort Alice eye-opener for Unimas students Enriching experience: Members of the Unimas group taking a group photo with Fort Alice in the background. SRI AMAN: The first group of 40 students from the first archaeology course offered by University of Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) took a three-hour bus trip here to see the historical reconstruction of Fort Alice. The undergraduates were able to witness heritage conservation in person and up close. Architect Mike Boon led the field trip for the students and their visiting professor Dr Nancy White, and lecturer Nicholas Gani. The visitors were amazed by how the fort is being preserved, with its original beams and other construction materials from the mid-19th century still intact. The 145-year-old fort is a listed historical monument. Mid-last year, the structure was taken apart piece by piece. The 9,900sq ft, two-storey wooden building consisted of 88 columns, of which 74 were carried through to the second floor. In weight, the belian (local ironwood) — which was used extensively, from columns, wall panels, floor boards to roof beams — weighed an estimated 100 tonnes. From its strategic hilltop, it served to defend against “piracy” and invasion from the Lupar River, but mostly it became a government administrative centre for Charles Brooke, the second Rajah of Sarawak. It was here where the White Rajahs staked their claims aground. The British battled against local tribal warriors like Rentap along the Batang Lupar and expanded the state’s territory northwards and eastwards from the Sarawak River; thus charting the modern day boundaries.

No part of this publication may be reproduced in any form without the permission of Sarawak Heritage Society (SHS) and Malaysian Institute of Architects Sarawak Chapter (PAMSC). Welcome to Kuching, Sarawak! Take a quick look around Kuching and you will certainly notice a historic building or site, stately and unique, enchanting always; these are just some of the attractive charms of the city. Singularly or clustered, these fascinating cultural and historic icons are found at almost every turn and step you take around the city. Starting from the Brunei Sultanate Empire during the 17th and 18th Century to the White Rajahs for much of the 19th and 20th Centuries, the city's wealth of heritage sites offer an exciting mix of western and eastern influences spread within walking distances of each other. A haven to most, it is also bewilderment in choice of venues to visit for those with premium on time. Amidst the skylines of the City today, you will also find distinctive buildings from the days gone by, from the Brooke Era’s and British Colonial style architectures, archaic Chinese temples and alleyways to surprisingly fresh new looks for centuries old shophouses. This once riverine trading post has since then grown to be a strategic port, administrative town, business centre and capital city. Almost all the modern amenities expected of a city are available here, minus the hustle and bustle of a metropolis. Careful planning of the surrounding environment to maintain this leisurely pace is Kuching's gift to residents and visitors alike, a feeling of warmth and comfortable existence that's real and stimulating.

    Palace Tours − Luxury Tours Collection Into the Heart of Borneo Into the Heart of Borneo Join Palace Tours on an unforgettable 9−day cruise journey on the Rajang River into the lush rainforests of Borneo, the third largest island in the world. Though the name is familiar to many from Redmon O’Hanlon’s classic Into the Heart of Borneo, there is very little tourism here due to the river’s remoteness and lack of facilities. There is much to do and see upriver, whether just gazing at the amazing scenery or visiting traditional and modern Iban long houses. In these river towns, you can explore the architectural vestiges of the Brooke Raj, and experience jungle treks and longboat trips as your journey continues to the Pelagus Rapids. Wildlife is in abundance and crocodiles, monitor lizards and the hornbill (national bird of Sarawak) are common sights. Downriver, the prosperous Chinese city of Sibu with its old shop houses, markets and friendly inhabitants, is a calm reflection of old China. At Sareiki, enjoy visits to pepper farms and exotic fruit plantations, and experience textile production at the sea port of Thanjung Manis. ITINERARY • Day 1 − Arrive in Sibu and board your cruise ship You are met upon arrival at the airport in Sibu, a bustling Malaysian port city set close to local markets and temples. Transfer to the cruise ship and settle in to your comfortable cabin. The afternoon is yours at leisure to explore the town on foot with its attractive streets of old Chinese shop houses, redolent of Malacca or Penang but without the tourists.

  • Fort Alice – Syncretic Architecture in Sarawak Under the Brooke Regime
    CONTESTED TERRAINS SAHANZ PERTH 2006 JOHN TING FORT ALICE – SYNCRETIC ARCHITECTURE IN SARAWAK UNDER THE BROOKE REGIME John Ting RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia ABSTRACT Colonial architecture in Malaya typically followed the classical traditions of 19th century British architecture or the later Indo-Saracenic styles of the Victorian period. Colonial buildings were designed as clear symbols of British imperialism. In neighbouring Sarawak, the architecture of the Brooke regime of the same period is quite different. Sarawak was not a British colony but annexed and ruled outright by the white rajah James Brooke (1803-1867) and his successors. They set up an eccentric “freelance imperial” system where their primary objective was altruistic. Unlike most imperialists, the Brookes had a syncretic approach, attempting to unify and reconcile many differing schools of thought, not only between the indigenous peoples but also between eastern and western ideals. The architecture of James Brookes’ Fort Alice can be seen to be a result of this approach. It is an architectural reflection of their unusual approach to governance, resulting in a blend of architectural ideas that the Brookes brought with them and the architecture of the indigenous Iban of Sarawak. It is a building that was designed according to a set of parameters and desires not limited by colonial British ideas and architecture of the time and the space given to the local is highly unusual in terms of late 19th century colonial architecture. This paper attempts to tease out the syncretic ideas of the Brooke regime and test them against the architecture of Fort Alice, to bring out the unique origins, strategies and methods employed in their design and construction.

  • Social Science Research and Conservation Management in The
    6. Traditional property rights over land among the Kenyah of Pujungan Subdistrict S. Jacobus E. Frans L. INTRODUCTION The research into customary law conducted in the subdistrict of Pujungan in 1991 has its starting point in a question that all indigenous Dayak people of Kalimantan have often been asking lately: ‘Is it true that land ownership based on customary or adat law can be recognised?’ Today the easy answer is: ‘Yes, it can be accepted if there is evidence.’ In light of administrative practices dealing with land titles that have been in use so far, the formal judicial meaning intended by the term ‘proof’ or ‘evidence’ tends to be the land certificate issued by the Office for Land Affairs (known as Kantor Badan Pertanahan Nasional). If this is really true, has all the land of Kalimantan already been certified as evidence of ownership of the land? The answer that we give will remain full of question marks unless some wise efforts are made to harmonise views of what ‘is’ and what ‘should be.’ Thus, the attempt to reconcile fact and theory, beginning with Articles 5, 2, 3 and 4 of Law No. 5 of 1960 on Basic Agrarian Regulations (UUPA), and Law No. 56 of 1960 on Determining the Area of Agricultural Land, requires focused research in order to answer the above question. The Pujungan Subdistrict comprises two customary territories, the Pujungan Customary Land and the Hulu Bahau Customary Land. The inhabitants are for the most part from several Kenyah subgroups, as well as related groups such as the Punan, Pua’, Nyibun, and Saben.
