History says the Brunei capital was razed to the ground before the Sultan ceded the country to him.<br />There were many massacres in Sarawak. At Bau, 3,500 men, women and children were decimated for the killing of 4 White souls.<br />Thousands of natives died defending the country in 200 war expeditions taken against them.<br />They did not provide any school, road, hospital, electricity, telephone, radio for the Dayaks. In Sarawak time stool still.<br />That is the reason we do not see any memorials erected by the locals for them. It would only stir up bitter memories. -Desmond Leongleonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07115810918113476398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546144304817504265.post-43760347391287396362010-06-02T20:27:29.691+08:002010-06-02T20:27:29.691+08:00it's a pity full sight to see that

Opposite the Residency was the Nurses' Hostel. Diagonally opposite the Residency was the Rest House. further down the Bridge Road was the Rumah Sakai and then came the Old Mosque and the Muslim Cemetery...this was the beginning of the then <BR/>Queensway and Race Course Road. That is where the Government Building and (New) Court House are.<BR/><BR/>the two cannons pointing towards the confluence of the Igan and Rejang, were in front of the Resident's Office and there was a wharf for Aline, Zahora, and other ships like Soon Bee, Bruas, Rajah Mas, and Pulau Kidjang.<BR/><BR/>I remember I liked watching the Police lowering the State Flag and blowing the Bugles at sunset.

During the Rajah Brooke's days, it was necessary to fortify a turbulent Sarawak from headhunters, pirates, rebellions, etc. In fact, the forts becomes the nucleus of the major towns now in existence. The fort provides protection and thus Chinese shophouses, Malay Kampungs started to be built around the fort. I have herad of Fort Brooke in Sibu which is no longer in existence. I wonder if anyone knows where the location of the Fort Brooke is. I suspect it must be somewhere along the bank of the Rejang and maybe the present river front (esplanade) or wharves areas. Except for Fort margherita in Kuching, the rest of the fort were built with timber (especially belian) and some of the fort were actually burned down in recent years and rebuilt.Gaharumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158719417815828020noreply@blogger.com
