Masing a strong proponent of Iban cultural heritage, says club founder


SIBU (Bernama): Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister II Tan Sri Dr James Masing was a strong proponent of Iban cultural heritage and his demise comes as a great loss to Kelab Gagung Sarawak (KGS), a club promoting the Iban costume.

KGS founder Sammy Ngelambai said Masing was very interested in the costume and wanted it to be revived as it reflected the identity of the Ibans, a major ethnic group in Sarawak known for their fighting spirit.
