1) Charles Brooke led a successful expedition against hostile Iban groups in 1856, destroying 25 longhouses and seizing a large amount of property and harvest.
2) During this expedition, Charles developed new tactics for Sarawak operations, arranging his mixed force of Malays and Ibans in the shape of a bird to keep the groups organized and prevent ambushes.
3) This expedition showed Charles' growing ability to lead effective campaigns using local forces and techniques, which would be crucial in the coming political crises for the Brooke regime in Sarawak.

The document discusses shifting focus from tools and systems to building brand relationships based on consumer needs and passions. It argues for starting with understanding the human truth behind brand relationships rather than copying other brands. Innovation requires changing one's mental model from telling brand stories to architecting brand relationships through giving value, relevance and authenticity to empower consumers. Successful brands disrupt their industries by leveraging technology while tapping into what consumers care about.

This document summarizes literature on assessing returns on public sector IT investments (Public ROI). It discusses how traditional ROI focuses only on financial metrics and is limited for government projects with intangible benefits. The concept of public value considers three dimensions of ROI - financial, social, and political. It provides examples from the UAE of successful public ROI programs that generated revenues reinvested in social programs. Overall the document advocates for more comprehensive approaches to Public ROI that account for all impacts of IT investments.

El documento explica los mecanismos de deformación en materiales y técnicas de endurecimiento. Describe que la deformación plástica en metales ocurre por el movimiento de dislocaciones como resultado de fuerzas aplicadas. Las dislocaciones pueden ser de borde, tornillo o mixtas. El endurecimiento se logra al restringir el movimiento de dislocaciones a través de reducir el tamaño de grano o agregar partículas, lo que crea barreras.

In Shakespeare's time in England, women were considered subservient to men and had little independence or rights. They were dependent on male relatives, often used in arranged marriages to forge alliances, and generally believed they were inferior to men. Education was largely denied to women, who could not inherit titles, enter certain professions, vote, or participate in politics. Disobedience by women was seen as a religious crime. Marriage was usually arranged for political and financial reasons rather than love, and women were expected to depend on and obey male relatives throughout their lives.

Braveheart notes in relation to higher paper.Nicholas Green
This document provides a detailed analysis and summary of the representations in the film Braveheart, including representations of Scotland, heroes and villains, and women. Regarding Scotland, the film depicts rural Scotland as the true Scotland, divided along class lines between Wallace's common people and the nobles who were more similar to the English. The heroes like Wallace are shown as brave, loyal and protecting family, while the villains like Edward I are cruel, violent and lack loyalty. Women are initially depicted as victims but also show strength, with Murrin and the Princess merging to provide a love interest for Wallace and help him achieve victory against the English.

The British ChallengedThe end of Zulu sovereignty came at the hand.docxmehek4
The British Challenged
The end of Zulu sovereignty came at the hands of the British, but not without a significant cost the British. The invincible British military, proved vulnerable and experienced one of the deadliest and humiliating defeats in British history. By 1870, the British had adopted a forward policy in Southern Africa. The intent of the policy was to bring all people in together under the control of them.
Included in this policy was the vision to implement economic development in the region, specifically to facilitate the excavation of goods for the boughs of the earth and to transport such goods efficiently and effectively to Western cultures in trade. Sir Heny Bartle Frere saw the sovereign, economically viable Zulu kingdom as a direct threat to his success.
Frere viewed the British military as the greatest in the world and therefore could not conceive of a scenario under which the ill-armed Zulu's would be a threat. In December 1878, Frere picked a fight with the Zulu king Cetshwayo kaMpande. Before the war the Tugela River formed the boundary between Zulu territory and Natal, British territory. When Cetshwayo became king he refused to to submit British hegemony. A army of 40 - 60,000 men was called and prepared for battle. In December 1878, Cetshwayo was given an ultimatum - disband the Zulu army and pay reparations for insults against the British people and crown or suffer the consequences.
Cetshwayo refused to respond, which promoted the British under Lord Chelmsford, to attack. Arrogant, the British invaders advanced into Zululand without using advance scouts or sentries. The Zulu army attacked and annihilated the central British column at Isandhlwana, killing 1300 British soldiers and their African allies, taking nearly 1,000 rifles, with ammunition, as they fled (Source: The Zulu War 1878-1879). When the news reach British shores of the devastating defeat at Isandhlwana, there was an uproar.
Sporadic battles broke-out over the opening months of 1879 while Lord Chelmsford reorganized his troops and waited for reinforcements from Britain, most which saw the Zulu as victors. Favor began to shift to the British when they repelled a Zulu attack on their camp on March 29, 1879. As fresh British troops arrived in Southern Africa, the stage was set for the final invasion of Zululand, battles which lasted from May through July 1879. King Cetshwayo conceded defeat and requested terms of surrender, which the British refused demanding an unconditional surrender.
In many respects, the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 was merely the first act in the protracted destruction of the Zulu kingdom. British policy was to destroy the unity of the nation by undermining the influence of the Zulu Royal House, and to prevent the Zulus posing a further threat to British settler interests in the region. Their systematic policy to break up the institutions of the old Zulu sate led to deep divisions within the country, to civil war and ultimately to the dispo ...
Shakespeare lived during the Elizabethan era in England from 1564-1616. This was a period of relative stability under Queen Elizabeth I's 45-year reign, though there was religious conflict between Protestants and Catholics. Theatre blossomed in London during this time, with Shakespeare becoming a leading playwright for the Lord Chamberlain's and King's Men theatre companies. His works have since become the most performed and read plays in the world.
'Wide Sarrogasa Sea' as a postcolonial novel.pptxAartiSarvaiya1
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys is considered a postcolonial novel that responds to and revises Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre. It explores themes of slavery, displacement, and male dominance through the character of Antoinette Mason, who becomes Mr. Rochester's mad first wife Bertha in Jane Eyre. The novel is set in Jamaica and examines issues of cultural identity and the legacy of colonialism through Antoinette's liminal position as a white Creole woman. It also uses language and the perspectives of both Antoinette and her husband to portray the complex race relations of post-emancipation West Indies society.
1) Shakespeare lived during Queen Elizabeth I's reign from 1558 to 1603, a period of relative stability in England following turmoil. Under her patronage of the arts, London became a cultural center and Shakespeare and other playwrights thrived.
2) Upon Elizabeth's death, King James I came to power and was also a patron of the arts. He invited Shakespeare's acting company to become the King's Men and produce new works.
3) The document then provides historical context on religion, education, theaters, and Shakespeare's life and career during this Elizabethan period in England.
Identity Politics, Imagined Communities, and the March of HistoryConor Gleeson
The document discusses the history of the Balkan region and the role of identity politics. It notes that the Balkan region has historically been home to multiple small ethnic groups, religions, and strategic importance. This has led outside powers to attempt to influence local politics to gain control, exacerbating tensions. The region was originally inhabited by Slavic peoples and saw influence from the Byzantine Empire and Bulgarian Empire. This isolated the Southern Slavs and led to shifting alliances and instability. The Ottoman Empire later gained control of the region over centuries through alliances and integration rather than conquest, bringing stability but also dismantling local elites and fueling nationalist narratives.
This document summarizes Marco Polo's travels and experiences in China during the late 1200s. It describes how Marco Polo, along with his father and uncle, traveled to China and served at the court of Kublai Khan for 17 years. During this time, Marco Polo gained Kublai Khan's favor and was sent on various missions throughout China, Burma, and India. The document highlights Marco Polo's descriptions of cities like Beijing, palaces, ceremonies, and other aspects of life in China, providing early European exposure to these places and customs. It also notes how Marco Polo's travelogue later inspired the famous poem "Kubla Khan" by Coleridge.

The aim of this paper is to map out aspects of colonialism and embedded colonial spirit in the works of the Nineteenth century British novelists. To do so i have chosen three quintessential english novels, jane austen’s mans field park (1814), charlotte bronte’s jane eyre (1847), and its prequel wide sargasso sea (1966) written by jean rhys. These three novels from three different eras, the romantic period, the victorian period and the postcolonial modern times, therefore illustrated how literature can often be ingrained with supremacist ideologies and it can also be the means of resistance against the forces of colonialism.
Gildas' text describes the Saxon conquest of Britain in the 6th century. The British king Vortigern invited the Saxons to Britain to help fight invaders from the north, but the Saxons instead decided to conquer Britain. They began attacking in 367 and gradually took control of southeastern Britain, including Essex, Kent and Sussex by 450. However, the Britons led by King Arthur achieved a major victory over the Saxons at Mount Badon between 490-503. Ultimately, the Saxons took power over most of Britain within 150 years, settling there and imposing their own lifestyle, according to the critical account of the British monk Gildas.
Albert Mackey - History of Freemasonry Vol II.pdfWagnerDaCruz2
Freemasonry was used as a political tool by supporters of the House of Stuart in their attempts to restore the Stuart monarchy in England. Some Masonic degrees and rituals were modified to symbolize events in Stuart history, such as the execution of Charles I and the deposition of James II. However, the timeline of these political modifications does not align with the actual development of Freemasonry. While the Stuarts tried to influence Freemasonry after their exile in the late 1600s, the organization was not well-established in England until the 1710s, making many of the purported political modifications impossible.
Anglo-Saxon literature was the first manifestation of writing in a vernacular language during the Middle Ages. This literature was expressed in Old English, the Germanic language brought over by invading Angles, Jutes, and Saxons. The literature provides crucial insights into the development of Anglo-Saxon society between the 7th and 11th centuries, as it was often preserved in manuscripts for educational purposes. Poetry was highly rhythmic as it was intended for oral performance. Literary works like Beowulf and The Battle of Maldon illustrate Anglo-Saxon cultural norms and values. The literature helped establish a unique Anglo-Saxon cultural identity.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
1. The Malay Plot
The Ducth, Regarding James Brooke Anxiously from their possessions in southern Borneo, always saw
sarawak as no more than a somewhat unorthodox extension of the British Empire. Future students of
history may be tempted to take the same view. European domination, it may be argued, was essentially
the same phenomenon, whether exercised directly by a great power, or indirectly through a family of
benevolent adventurers. But this point of view would overlook at least one important difference
between Sarawak and cotemporary European colonies in southeast Asia
By the middle of the nineteenth century, when a great Western power came into conflict with Southeast
Asian opponents the outcome was virtually certain. Hesitancy on the part of the western power
sometimes postponed the inevitable, as in malaya, or prolonged the required years of 'pacification'
campaigns in the more remote areas of some colonies, such as Vietnam. In North Sumatra, a
combination of Dutch ineptitude and determind Achehnese opposition led to a local stalement, and the
Acheh War dragged on from 1873 to 1909. But as a general rule, such contests were one-sided.
No doubt this would have proved true in sarawak if the British had continued to lend minimum amount
of moral and naval support to the Brooke family. Largely as a result of the great 'piracy' controversy,
however, no more Didos sailed to the Rajah's rescue after 1854. Instead,at one period in 1860, a hostile
Governor of Labuan threw the full weight of official British support behind rebal elements seeking to rid
themselves of james Brooke and his two young nephews. For an almost fatal few months, Sarawak was
a dependency with nothing to depend on, a colony not only orphaned but rejected as well.
During this most critical period, the Brooke were forced as never before to rely upon local allies and
local techniques, for no other materials were available. Since they had to compete on local terms one
must, in studying their progress, consider the motives and methods of their native friends and enemies,
as well as their own, It its this aspect of the Sarawak story which makes it unique in the annals of later
European rule in southeast Asia.
The early political history of the Brooke state may be regarded as a contest between an English familu
and diverse Moslem ruling class for influence over a predominantly pagan Iban Iban and Melanau
population. The decisive events in that contest took place during the nine years uncer consideration in
the chapter, 1854 to 1860. Weakened by personal misfortunes as well as by the loss of British support,
the Brookes triumphed over thier native rivals, but only by a narrow margin.
The man primarily responsible for this triumph was the Rajahs younger nephew and eventual successor,
Charles Brooke. Posted to the second division at an early age, he soon demontrated a remarkable ability
to use large forces of Ibans as an effective, mobile, totally unpaid army. This talent, combines with other
abilities, enabled him to save Sarawak twice in moments of extreme danger. These victories left an
Indelible impression on the man who was to rule Sarawak until 1917, and whose personality was to
influence the entire later history of his state
The first crisis occurred in 1857, when the Hakka Chinese of the First Division sacked Kuching. The
Chinese rebels, who were restricted to the Sarawak River system, were a grave threat solely because of
2. their proximity to the Brooke capital. Dramatic though their outbreak was, it has been somewhat
overemphasized by historians. A second and more profound conflict grew out of competition between
the Brookes and Brunei for control of the economically valuable, sago exporting Melanau country on the
coast of third division. As this struggle progressed, dissident Malay chiefs throughout Sarawak, under
the leadership of Sharif Masahor, an 'Arab' with widespread Melanau familiy ties, made common cause
with Brunei against the Brookes. After the murder in 1859 of the only two European officers in the third
Division, the rajahs representatives feared, with considerable justification, that the rebels would be able
to rally the still only partly controlled Ibans, as well as others peoples, against the Brookes . This episode,
the malays plot,may be seen as the inevitable reaction of a wide spread, semi independent Moslem
ruling class against the new and obviously weakened British overlords. For this reason, and not merely
because it almost successeded, it was the most significant political crisis in the early history of the
brooke State
During these years of turmoil, the First white rajah, physically ailing and disheartened by his failure to
win more appreciation and support in England, was ever more frequently abesnt from borneo. The
burden of ruling fell upon his two nephews, capten James Brooke johnson and Charles Anthoni Johnson,
both of whom later took surname Brooke. The older nephew, ususally know as brooke , arrived in
sarawak in 1848 and was henceforth regarded as the likely successor to james, who never married.
Together with Arthur Crookshank, the senior member of the Rajah's small staff of European, Brooke
spent most of his time in Kuching. His career in Sarawak was unhappy to the point of tragedy. He sufferd
the loss of two wives in succession after a bitter, senseless quarrel with his uncle. His few surviving
writings show little sympathy for or understanding of the country for which he made such great
personal sacrifice.
It was the enormous good fortune of his younger brother, Charles, that he was not in early years being
groomed for the succession. His title was the Tuan Muda (Young Lord), whereas Brooke was known as
the Tuan Besar (Great Lord). Charles spent his early carreer, not in Kuching, but at the newly established
outstations in the Iban country, where he avoided Brooke family conflicts. There he gained the
experience that enabled him to save the state and qualified him to rule for almost half a century as the
successor to James.
The two great Brooke Rajahs differed both temperament and in early training. Much more has been
wwritten about James, who is the subject of three biographies, and whose publised letters and jounals
fill ten volumes. He was a man of warmth and eloquence, who came to Broneo motivated by a vision of
empire, in pursuit of which he constantly addressed himself to the outside world. Fond as he was of the
state which he founded, he always hoped that it would prove a stepping stone to something greatter.
Sarawak itself was too small an arena to contain his ambitions, and he was downcast and disillusioned
when British policy doomed his grander plan to frustration.
The founder of Sarawak enjoyed a cultured and comfortable family life. He left school at the age of
sixteen, but received a generous informal education at home. His early carrer as an Indian Army officer,
and his subsequent travels before 1839, gave him a sophisticated and cosmopolitan outloook on the
world. He did not visit Sarawak for the first time until he was thirty-six years old.
3. Less is known about his nephew Charles, whose biography has yet to be written. The Second Rajah's ow
n book, Ten Years in Sarawak, remain the best source of insight into his personality, and the best
account of his formative years in the Iban country. Neither that work nor the published commentaries of
his wife and two daughters-in-law shed much light on his pre-Sarawak experience, which varied from
that of his uncle in at least two important respects. Charles left school at the age of twelve to embark on
the spartan life of an officer in the sail-powered navy. He first saw Sarawak from the deck of keppel's
Dido during the lower Batang Lupar expedition of 1844. He was still only twenty-three when retired
from the navy in 1852 to join his uncle's service, thirteen years younger than James had been when he
arrived in Borneo. In comparison to James, Charles began his Sarawak career with less education, both
formal and informal, and with a much more limited expericence of European society. Moreover, his
disposition was as withdrawn as that of James was gregarious and exuberant. His uncle, well aware of
his political talents, nevertheless found him 'reserved to a fault'.
As time passes, Charles derived great satisfaction from his accomplishments in Sarawak, but his often
savage experience were not the sort that he could easily communicate to a European audience. He was
not inclined to embellish of romanticize the story of his life to make it palatable for home consumption.
Whereas James had constantly concerned himself with England and the outside world , His nephew's
mind turned inwardsm and Charles' only real concern remained the country which he came to know
supremely well. His empathy for his subjects was match ed by his recurring feeling of alienation from the
British social and political elite, a feeling which in later years was aggravated by his disapproval of many
aspect of British imperial policy both in Borneo and elsewhere. Perhaps more than any other major
figure in colonial history, he became and remained a creature of his eastern experience ; a child, in every
sense, of Sarawak.
After joining the Sarawak service in 1852, Charles was initially posted to luncu in the first division, the
same district where his unclehad first visited an Iban longhouse only thirteen years previously. In june
1853 he moved to the second division, the heart of the Iban country, replacing ste slain Alan Lee as the
officer in charge of Lingga, close by the friendly Balau Ibans of Banting Hill. 'From this date', he wrote, 'i
considered myself fairly among these gentlemen of the jungle...' From the start he was constantly
concerned with the hostile Iban population whose longhouses lay along the Skrang and its tributaries,
far upriver among the blue –green hills just visible from Lingga.
Rentap remained the principal enemy. His prestige as a war leader had been greatly enhanced by his
successful encounter with Brereton and Lee only a few months previously. He had compose a new
praise-name (Ensumbar) for himself:
Rentap tanah, rentap menoa
Tuan Lee ke mati enda berega
Titan Brereton tau masok ke kain
Enda tanjong ka bala Raja
4. Rita Layang tampak terang
Mandang ka Airupa
Abang Aing badu agi ka Pending bala
Undup abis tepelut leka mata
Balau nadai agi kerangau sabelah kerapa
'Earth tremor, land tremor
Tuan Lee, Easily killed
Tuan Brereton wears women's clothing
The news of layan's exploit flashes to europe Abang Aing is no longer the Rajah's ears
The Undups open wide their eyes in amazement (at Rentap's deeds)
The calls of Balau warriors are no longer heard in the jungle.
Rentap attracted followers not only from the upper Skrang, his own home area, but also from the
nearby Saribas, where the first Government fort was not constructed until 1858. The most important
Saribas Iban leaders, who as yet saw no reason to leave their accustomed live of periodic raiding, were
Linggir 9Mali Lebu) of Paku, and three sons of the Orang Kaya Pamancha Dana (Bayang) named Aji,
Luyoh and Nayang. Their father, the greatest leader of former times, died of smallpox in 1854.
For Charles Brooke the early campaigns against Rentap and his follwers were all part of learning
process. In December 1853, six month after he arrived at Lingga, he joined his uncle James and a force of
Sarawak Malays on a reconnaissance expedition up to the Skrang River. It was the first time a
Government force had entered the area since the death of Lee the previous spring, and the result of a
parley with Rentap and other leaders were inconclusive. The Tuan Muda felt that this conciliatory
approach was a sheer waste of time .' Despotism I dislike'. he commented, 'but forbearance does not to
go beyond a certain point in the management of Dayaks, who have the feeling of children: kindness and
severity must procced hand in hand with such a people'.
In the following year, 1854, the Rajah authorized two punitive expeditions against the hostile Ibans in
the watershed area between the Skrang and Saribas Rivers. The first, directed against the house of Apai
Dendang, was a total fiasco. Later Brooke Brooke led another expedition against Rentap, who was living
on Sungai Lang, a Skrang tributary. Rentap's stockaded longhouse was captured and the enemy leader
5. was wounded, but he succeeded in retreating into the interrior, to an even stronger and much more
inaccessible location on the summit of Sadok Mountain. This 3000-foot hill, just visible on a clear day
from the modern Saribas District Headquarters at Betong, had been famous ever since.
Charles felt that these early expeditions were badly organized. There was too much European
paraphernalia, too many heavy boats and too many British officers. The conviction was growing in his
mind that only Ibans could be used to fight Ibans> ' Only Dayaks can kill Dayaks" and once formed, it
would never leave him. He soon had a chance to test his own theories, for Williang Brereton died of
dysentery contracted on the Sungai Lang expedition of 1854, leaving Charles the senior officer in the
second division.
In April 1856 he led a force againts the Ibans of the Julau River. a branch of the Kanowit draining a
portion of the rugged borderland between the second division and thrid divisions. He believes that the
Ibans of the region, never before penetrated by a Government expedition, were behind a good deal of
the prevailing lawlessness in the Saribas and Skrang. It was entirely the Tuan Muda's own operation, for
Kuching contributed only few antiquated muskets. His lieutenants were three trusted Malays, Pengiran
Matali, Abang Aing and Sauh Besi (Iron Anchor)
The expedition proceeded by way of the Krian River and Budu, and thence across the watershed into the
enemy territory along the Julau . it was still a recently settled area, and the local Ibans, migrants mainly
from the Saribas, Skrang and Lemanak Rivers, had been enjoyings ample crops. Charles wrote : ' the
result of their harvests were to be seen in the great quantity of Padi stocked in their houses, which were
crammed, and yet they could not be contented without committing butcheries by which heads could be
obtained.
In the familiar pattern of the later years, only one brief skirmish took place between the Brooke force,
consisting of some 300 Malays and about ten times that number of Ibans, and the hostile inhabitants.
After reaching the heart of the enemy's country , the Tuan Muda's Ibans spread throughout the
surrounding area, burning longhouse and plundering them of their old Chinese jars and Brunei-made
brassware. Charles described the results : 'twenty-five houses had been destroyed, some large, some
small. The amount of property plundered was immense. The ashes of Padi were in some place a foot
deep, and continued to smoke and smoulder'.
On this expedition Charlesmade progress toward solving one of the tactical problems involved in such
warfare, that on restraining his over-eager Iban followers, who were prone to dash into ambush. Once in
enemy country he arranged his force in the shape of a bird, in a manner which was to become a model
for Sarawak expediitions through the years. Behind a few Iban scouts, the beak of the bird consisted of
the most reliable Malays. More Malays marched in the center of the bird's body, surrounding the lone
English leader. The much larger Ibn force composed the wings, with tha Balaus on oneside, and the
Skrangs, still inclined to be unfriendly to the Balaus, on the other side. Charles impressed upon the
Malays vanguard the need to keep the force together on the march. His choice of the bird image to
symbolize the formation no doubt appealed to the omen-conscious Ibans.
6. The Ibans fought for plunder and for heads, which could be legitimately taken from the enemy, but
something had to be done to remunerate the Malays. They were not allowed to scatter away from the
formation in search of loot, and they showed little talent for this kind of work in any case. To solve this
problem the Tuan Muda ruled that on half of valuable plunder must be turned over himself as the
representative of the government. He would the auction the goods, and use the proceeds to pay the
Malays. In later years, as will be desscribed, this ystem was abandoned. Instead, Malay subject to
expedition service paid no taxes.
The Rajah's young nephew was not only evolving a new technique of warfare, admirable suited both to
terrain of Borneo and to the pocket book of a far from wealthy Government; he was also enjoying
himself immensely. In the pages of Teh Years in Sarawak, compiled largely from the journal which he
kept at the time, a note of exultation recurs among descriptions of hardships and toil. On the Julau
expedition, Charles relates, the sight of friendly Iban war-boats surging upstream completely cured him
of aches and pains. He compared his own position to that of a queen ant among hundreds of workers.
The loneliness of outstation life was more than matched by its wild spledor:
it was no position for a family man, with a taste for the social luxuries of evenings at home. The
enjoyable part of our life was the glorious independence of it, Connected with a considerable degree of
power and influence over our fellow creatures. We could imagine mountains ( Not monarchs) our
footstools, and gaze ovr the wide extent of wilf waste until, as the chaldeans of old did with the stars,
we peopled it with multitudes.
In February of 1857 the Tuan Muda and his Ibans irregulars were for the first time, instrumental in
saving Sarawak. In that month the Hakka Chinese gold-miners of the Sarawak River destroyed Kuching
nearly killed James Brooke, and further weakened his already far from vigorous Government. From the
beginning of his rule the Rajah had welcomed the Chinese to Sarawak, realizing that a Chinese
population was the surest key to economic self-sufficiency. But although his relations with Hokkiens and
others who settled as merchants in Kuching remained cordial, the Hakka gold-miners, concentrated
around Bau on the upper Sarawak River, were always a problem. They maintained close tie with thier
nemurousand well-organized brethren across the border in Sambas, even after the Sambas Chinese had
been heavily defeated by the Dutch in the 'Kongsi War' of 1853-4, and they were most relucant to
accept any directive from the new British ruler in Kuching. Not suprisingly, there was continual friction
between the Bau Chinese and James Brooke.
The Rajah railed against the evil influence of Chinese secret societies in the pages of his journal, and
swiftly punished the agents of such organizations when he apprehended them. Several times before the
rebellion of 1857 the Government feared that trouble was brewing in upper Sarawak. Only a year prior
to the actual outbreak, Charles Brooke and a force of Ibans had been summoned from the Second
Division to cope with an expected disturbance which never took place.
The Chinese Rebellion, which broke out on the evening of 18 February 1857, has been fully described
elsewhere. The timely appearance of a steamer belonging to the Borneo Company played a large part in
dislodging to the rebels, who had captured and sacked Kuching. However the Tuan Muda and his Ibans
7. were equally responsible for the eventually Brooke victory. Rajah James had been on his way to the
second Division to seek their assistance when the steamer unexpectedly arrived. The Unpleasant
prospect of Iban intervention occured to the victorious Chinese themselve in their hour of triumph. They
had gathered a number of British prisoners in the Kuching courthouse and the Chinese commander was
sitting in the Rajah 's chair, when one of his prisoners suggested that the Rajah's nephew might not
approve of recent events. According to Spencer St.John's account
At the mention of Mr.Johnson's (i.e. Charles Brooke's) name there was a pause, a blankness came over
all their faces, and they looked at each other, as they now remembered apparently for the first time that
he, the Rajah nephew, was the governor of the Dayaks, and could let could let loose at least 10,000 wild
warriors upon them. At least it was suggested, after an animated discussion, that a letter should be sent
to him, requesting him to confie himself to his own govornment, and then would not attempt to
interfere with him.
This request, if delivered, was certainly not heeded. The Tuan Muda's lower Skrang and Balau Ibans
arrived not long after the Borneo Company steamer had driven the rebels from the vicinty of the capital,
and set to work harring them over the border toward Sambas. According to Charles Brooke, his levies
did their work 'very effectually, through irregularly. Before long they were drying the heads of the late
insurgents in the Kuching bazaar, to the distress of one European observer :
This head cooking was the most disgusting part of the whole affair , and made us feel very strongly that
is was only one set of savages who had been called in to punish another. This feast of heads will put off
the civilization of the Dayaks, and the prosperity of Sarawak, sine die.
It should be borne in mind that the rebels, besides reducing Kuching to ashes, had slughtered a number
of the British, including two small children.
The Chinese could never have hoped to govern far beyond the Kuching area. Perhaps i 50, 000 people
lived in the territory which had passed under Brooke rule by 1857. Only about 4500 of them were
Chinese, and they were almost entirely restricted to the first division. However, the near success of the
revolt may well have demontrated to the Malays chiefs, whose potential power base was far wider, just
how easy it might to be get rid of the Brookes.
Throughout this period the 'piratical' upriver Ibans of Skrang and the majority of the people of Saribas,
Malay as well as Iban, remained actively or potentially hostile to the rule of the white Rajah. No sooner
were the Chinese rebels defeated than Charles Brooke returned to the second division. Only three
month later, in june 1857, he launched his first major expedition against the fortified longhouse of
Rentap on the summit of mount Sadok, which the Ibans believed was impregnable. Charles wrote : their
legend and songs make mention of it as being the Grand Mount, toward which no enemy dare venture;
and our arch- enemy Rentap had been located on it since the fall of sungei Lang. He was here supported
by the Skrang Dayaks located in the interior, and also by the inhabitants of the interior of Saribas, who
offered every aid and assistance so long as he occupied this eyrie, which stood as a nucleus and basic far
removed from danger, and to which they all might, in case of need, retire to find a haven from the
8. stranger's rule , which thwarted their head-hunting propensities. He was called Rajah ulu (inland Rajah),
and was the centre of all the opposition to the rule of the Rajah of Sarawak.
The Government force, which consisted of 3500 Ibans and 500 Malays, struggled to the summit of
Sadok, but could not capture Rentap's longhouse. Abang Aing, the Tuan Muda's senior Malay officer,
was wounded, and upon returning to the base of the mountain the Ibans found the most of their boats
had been washed away by a sudden flood typical of Borneo rivers. They grumbled that the Tuan Muda
had not listened to the right bird.
In the following year, 1858, Charles continued his campaign against Rentap and his Saribas allies. In April
he received word that the Orang Kaya Pamancha Dana's son, Aji, was preparing to go on a headhunting
cruise in company with famous Julau war-Leader, Lintong(Moa Hari). To thwart this raid, the Tuan Muda
promptly sent an expedition up to the Saribas. But on this occasion, convinced that the local Malays
were still encouraging the Iban in 'piracy', he decided to make the Brooke presence a permanent one. ' I
resolved not again to abandon this river', he wrote, 'but to build a fort and permanently take possession
in order to guard and establish some system of government, whereby inch by inch we might hold fast
what we had gained, and so prevent all our work from being undone by Malay rascality. The Saribas fort,
later christened Fort Lili, was soon constructed, and a young godson of the Rajah, James Brooke
Cruickshank, reminded behind to command it. It was only twelve miles by a swampy trail to the Tuan
Muda's own headquarters at Skrang Fort, but the Saribas was so unsettled that Charles was extremely
concerned for the safety of young Cruickshank.
According to Iban tradition, the establishment of For Lili owed a great deal to smouldering dispute
between two Iban families, which, like the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets, was an
important factor in local politics for years. Following the death of the Orang Kaya Pamancha Dana 1854,
no leader had arisen who could match his power and prestige. Instead, three of his sons, Nanang, Aji
and Luyoh, querreled with the descendants of the famous pioneer raider Unggang (Lebor Menoa), The
best known of whom were Bunyau and his son Bakir. Unggang's descendants continued to live at
Entanak Longhouse, while Dana's familiy room (bilek) remained at Buloh Antu on the Padeh. Both sites
are on tributaries of the Layar and aore only a few miles apart, and it is significant that Entanak is only a
few minutes walk from modern Betong, the site where Fort Lili was Built.
The Iban version of events maintains that Aji had not in fact organized the elleged raid of 1858 which
resulted in the Tuan Muda's expedition to the Saribas. What really happened was that his rival, Bakir,
had sent a false report to this effect to Charles Brooke, knowing that the Rajah's nephew would lose no
time in bringing his Balau and Skrang Iban allies to punish Aji. When his happened, Bakir willingly
provided wood and labor for contruction of Fort Lili. The expedition which built the fort also destroyed
longhouse belonging to Aji and his Brother Nanang, Dana's oldest son. A few months later, in July 1858,
Dana's sons retaliated by attacking Fort Lili in strenght, but Cruickshank, aided by Bakir and his warriors,
repelled the attact. The Brookes had once again exploited a fragmented Iban leadership to win the
allegiance of an important downriver faction, as they had done in the case of the Skrang eight year
previously.
9. Before the end of1858 the Tuan Muda replied to the attack on Fort Lili with full-scale invasion of the
Saribas, culminating in a second assault on Rentap and Mount Sadok. This time the Sarawak force
dragged a small mortar up the mountain with them, but despite the high expectations of the friendly
Ibans this weapon had little effect on Rentap's well protected position.'Bring all your fire guns from
Europe', the rebels jeered, 'we are not afraid of you'. They added injury to insult by replying effectively
with a cannon of their own, Probably one captured in 1853 at the time of Allan Lee's death. The Brooke
the lost four killed and wounded, and beat an ignominious retreat back down the slippery sloped of
Sadok.
The Preliminaries to this action were of far greater consequence that the attack on Sadok itself. As the
Tuan Muda's forces came ashore from their boats at Sungai Langit, hostile Ibans under Aji attacked them
unsuccessfully, and Aji himself was killed. A good riddance..., Charles Brooke observed:
His father, the orang kaya (Pamancha Dana) Bayang, who died only a few years ago, had maintained a
suprising influence over both Dayak and Malay, the latter always following his counsel for the
settlement of their more difficult and intricate cases. Aji's name and act had ben in my ears and dreams
for years past. Many a bloody deed had he perpetrated and always boasted that the white man's
powder and shot would take no effect on his body.
Aji was the bravest and most skilled of Dana's sons. Once has was dead the days of resistance to Brooke
rule in the Saribas were numbered. But hi demise had the immediate effect of futher enraging his
brothers, Nanang and Luyoh, who were more that ever disposed to join Rentap and the upriver Skrangs
in their resistance to the Rajah.
Charles Brooke returned to Skrang Fort, where, between expeditions, he was attempting to interest the
nearby Ibans in planting sago. He intended to start an experimental plantation, and to establish himself
as the headman of a longhouse in its midst.'I should have had many followers to attach their doors to
dwelling,' he wrote, 'but whether it would have been a success was douthful question, which was never
proved, and sirtly afterwards a distressing event occured, which led to my being left in charge of
Sarawak (i.e.Kuching) and the coast.' the distressing event was the death of his older brother's wife,
which caused Brooke Brooke to leave the country. Thus, early in 1859, Charles assumed supreme
command of the Brooke State on the eve of its greatest trial. For the next two years duties elsewhere
would prevent him from taking any futher major action against the hostile Ibans of the Second Division,
who nevertheless were to be of no small concern to him in the crisis now at hand.
To understand the development of the Malay plot, it will be necessary to return to the period around
1854, and to relate some episodes neglected in the narrative above. Late that year a miniature civil war
began in Mukah, the wealthiest of the Melanau district on the coast of the third division, when the local
Brunei governor, Pengiran Ersat, insulted another aristocrat, Pengiran Matusin, who murdered Ersat a
retaliation. In the intermittent six-year struggle which followed, the Brookes consistently supported
Matusin, while a party at the Brunei court hostile to Sarawak aided Ersat's son and successor, Pengiran
Nipa. At stake was the district's rich production of the palm-derived starch, sago.
10. In earlier chapters it has been mentioned that sago exports from the Melanau country were
considerable even before James Brooke came to Sarawak, and that Kuching Malay traders began to
share in the carrying of this product to singapore after the beggining of Brooke rule. The Rajah's desire
to protect the sago district from Iban raids had played a large part in his decision to establish a fort at
Kanowit in 1851. Certain elements among the Brunei aristocrary had for some time resented the
growing activity of the Kuching traders, backed by the prestige of the White Rajah, in what they may
well have regarded as the most valuable territory remaining to them. Toward the end of 1846 James
Brooke had written:
Makota, the other day, composed a pantun, on the occasion of a respectable man of Sarawak (Kuching)
(but not nobly descended) arriving at Mukah in a fine trading boat. The sense was this-'formerly steel
alone could separate the trunk of the tree, now the very leaves rend the parent stem.,the leaves are the
non noble traders on their own account.
