There has been no shortage of old world stories and folk tales about the people in Sarawak, which have been shared weekly by The Tuyang Initiative on its social media channels since the movement control order (MCO) started in March.

These stories contributed by Tuyang Initiative's small community deserve a wider audience. The good news: this pandemic lockdown project - a book called Dayak Lore: A Collection From The Indigenous People Of Sarawak (Borneo) - is finally going to see a release on Sept 1.
