SARAWAK CULTURE VILLAGE

Page 7: (Full)epc assignment   sarawak cultural village

Sarawak Cultural Village is a unique award-winning living museum that offers an excellent introduction to wide array of local cultures and lifestyles found in Sarawak.

Located at the foot of the legendary Mount Santubong, just 32-km from Kuching, the Sarawak Cultural Village portrays the cultures and traditional lifestyles of the 7 major ethnic groups of Sarawak.

As we tour the various ethnic houses, we also learn about the native arts and crafts, food and music. While there, visitors should also make it a point to attend the cultural performance in the mini-theatre, which showcases the various traditional dances of Sarawak.

Sprawled across 17 acres, there are about 150 people living in the village, demonstrating traditional daily activities from Sarawak's diverse tribes like the processing of sago and the making of handicrafts. They wear traditional costumes and also put on dances for visitors. 

The village residents provide information on their various traditional cultures and lifestyles. We can see replicas of buildings that represent every major ethnic group in Sarawak; longhouses of the Iban, Bidayuh and Orang Ulu, a Melanau tall-house and a Chinese farm house among others. 

The village also has a theatre, where we can enjoy multicultural dance performances. Besides this, there is a restaurant and handicraft shop. We can even get married at the Sarawak Cultural Village, in traditional Iban, Malay, Bidayuh or Orang Ulu style.

Rumah Melayu

Page 11: (Full)epc assignment   sarawak cultural village

The house of an urban Malay House is built of wood. The Brooke era introduced lofty ideas on columns, stucco, and indoor plumbing. From as early on as the 1860's, a few leading Malay families commissioned professional builders, often Chinese, to construct their stately homes; a few which may still be seen today in Jln. Ajibah Abol in Kuching.From the humblest to the highest, Malay houses share certain characteristics. They are built on stilts and a visitor approaching from the front comes up a staircase. This may be quite small, leading along from the front of house. It permits a stranger to wait until somebody welcomes.The area designated for the men, official occasions and the entertainment of guests, is a front room taking up the width of the house. Windows cut down to floor level admits breeze for the seated people. Much artistic skill is lavished on the decoration of the stair and window railings, fascia boards under the eaves as well as the ventilation grills above or beside doorways.

Rumah Cina

Page 13: (Full)epc assignment   sarawak cultural village

Chinese farmers in Sarawak migrated to Sarawak in the early 1900s, at the invitation of the Rajah who wanted to build up a solid farming middle class. Many came, most stayed; one-third of the state's population is now Chinese.

Unlike local dwellings, the Chinese farm house is built at ground level. The house is divided into two main parts; the family room which contains the kitchen, eating and living area as well as a storage area for valuables such as bicycles or agricultural machinery, and the bedroom.

A focal point of the living area of the Sarawak Chinese house is the household altar. A print or statuette of the revered diety is placed here, before it are the joss sticks, candles, cups of tea and other offerings. The doorpost is also divinely protected via the application of strips of red paper with protection verses.

Rumah Orang-Ulu

Page 16: (Full)epc assignment   sarawak cultural village

The term Orang Ulu is associated with the tribes living in the inaccessible interior regions of Sarawak rainforests. In fact, orang (means "people") and ulu (means "interior or up-river regions") is often useful to signify the "up-river dwellers" who often settle in the middle and upper reaches of Sarawak's many great rivers.

Traditionally, an Orang Ulu Longhouse was built to last and many of these people practice settled agriculture, and have developed rice field irrigation to a fine art. This makes the search for new farmlands unnecessary. The solid ironwood houses are designed to last for many generations.

Rumah Melanau

Page 18: (Full)epc assignment   sarawak cultural village
Page 19: (Full)epc assignment   sarawak cultural village

The Melanau people making up nearly 6% of Sarawak’s population, now mostly living in the central coastal region, were once more widely scattered. They traditionally lived near the sea within reach of pirates. As a means of protecting themselves, the Melanaus built massive houses forty feet above the ground.

The Melanaus is different from most other Borneo people such as in one important aspect they eat sago in preference to rice. Sago palms originally grew wild in the coastal swamps, and the Melanaus took it upon themselves to cultivate these plants. The ten-meter high palm trunk accumulates starch. It swells just before flowering indicating the right time for harvesting by felling.

The Melanau is also carves fetishes for good luck in fishing, effigies of those lost at sea, figurines for ritual burial, and other magical paraphernalia. In the past, they also create massive burial posts, usually for aristocrats. These consists of the Kelirieng(burial pole) and the Salong (burial hut). A kelirieng is made of a huge hardwood tree trunk, elaborately carved from top to bottom. It is hollowed at the top to place the jar containing the chief's bones. A heavy stone slab is surmounted on the top of the pole, the size of which is more than six feet in diameter and can be up to 32 feet tall above the ground.

Rumah Bidayuh

The long house is actually pretty decent. The internals are quite similar to other longhouses you can find in the cultural village with the exception of an open-top sprawling veranda made of bamboo floors which I thought was quite nice.

The special of the longhouse is a demonstration of artistic bamboo and only special types of bamboo are suitable for this dying work of art. The finished bamboo products will certainly make excellent stationery holders or beautiful wall decorations.

Rumah Iban

Page 23: (Full)epc assignment   sarawak cultural village

The Iban race, once known as “Sea Dayaks”, built their longhouses to last fifteen to twenty years, or, until the farm land in the surrounding area was exhausted. Then they packed up their goods and chattels and moved inland, upriver, along the coast, wherever fresh farm lands looked promising. 

A traditional longhouse is built of axe-hewn timber, tied with creeper fibre, roofed with leaf thatch. It is nearly always built by the bank of a navigable river, and the visitor approaches it from the boat jetty. The long covered gallery that runs the length of an Iban longhouse is called the Ruai. This is where guest are usually greeted.

Page 24: (Full)epc assignment   sarawak cultural village

Several doorways lead from the outer to the inner verandah under the roof. This is the village street of the longhouse; the individual family rooms or “doors” front the common walkway. A casual visitor is invited to sit down on a mat here for a chat with the longhouse elder; family members enter through their relatives' doors and make themselves at home.
