Abstract

KUCHING, Sept 26: A 200-year-old Melanau kelidieng or burial pole originally from Kpg Ud, Dalat has been safely rehomed at the new Sarawak Museum.

Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said the kelidieng was shipped from Dalat to Sarawak Museum in 1962.

However, due to museum renovations, it was temporarily kept in storage at Sekama.

Today, moving the kelidieng from Sekama to the new museum required a specific ritual ceremony, which brought a team led by penghulu Yasa Tanbik from Dalat to assist.
