via The Star, 09 September 2022: 200-year-old tombstone found in Tatau, Sarawak.
The authorities are urged not to remove the “klirieng” that was found in Sungai Penyarai, Kakus in Tatau in order to preserve the heritage of the Bagatan people in the area.
The 200-year-old 6.7m “klirieng” or tombstone was found in the Musken area, Sungai Penyarai on Oct 16 last year.
According to reports, it will be restored by the Sarawak Museum Department and the Sarawak Customs Council (MAIS) by moving it out of the river to a site to be determined later.
It is understood that the “klirieng” will be temporarily housed at the Tatau district office before being moved to a permanent place.
Bagatan Penyarai Tatau Heritage Conservation Committee (JPWBPT) chairman Jaing Bubun said seven longhouses in Penyasari, Kakus collectively were against it being removed from its original place.
