Michael, Thankyou so much for posting and sharing all these old videos on You Tube. I am a Sarawakian (ex-Miri), now living in New Zealand. Most of the scenes shown on your videos brought back many fond memories of Borneo.
20 to 30 years ago, my father used to live in this condition, now he is a successful businessman in australia! I do hope more Ibanese find some success in the city or better overseas! HIDUP IBAN!
Mr. Michael all of us in Sibu espcially the chinese enjoys the post of your "a Chinese boy life in Sibu" it reminds us of the olden days. Thankyou so much and may God bless you and may your health is good and your body strong
I was in Serian (Div 1) in 1967, and many of these clips and images are familiar to me. I went back to Kuching and Serian in 2011, so many things had changed. I carry fond memories of the wonderful people.
Being a mixed blend of Dayak and other races, this documentary is very educational as I've only seen the more modernized longhouses. watching this, people may not believe that could be true
Tq very much for sharing that very nice moment. That is our life, our culture.Almost Sarawakian xspecially our community ( Dayak - Iban ethnic ) life as that during this time... proud be a Sarawakian.. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Only the few poor Dayaks lead this type of life. If you come to Sarawak today, you'd see many concrete and modern ceiling longhouses along the Malaysia's longest river, the Rajang River.
I think its pretty much the same nowadays. Unless you are rich and have a helicopter, the motor boat is the way to go in Sarawak I guess this was a time when Malaysia was less known to the world, thus the video has an exotic vibe to it:)
next week 2016 nothing much change yet river is still main transportation very slow progress in delevoplent even though Sarawak was rich of resource like timber,oil and gas but Sarawak is still poor country in malaysia.
