KUALA LUMPUR: Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) has denied allegations it had burned books on Iban literature, saying it is untrue and misleading while reaffirming its pursuit of literary preservation.
DBP explained in a statement that since Sarawak DBP took over the role from Borneo Literature Bureau (BLB) in 1977, all materials including books received with 1,077 titles were still preserved in storage.
