Adat resam atau amalan ini diwarisi sejak zaman berzaman dan masih diteruskan hingga ke hari ini.

Taib: Preserve ethnic traditional know-how
The Star Online
Published on: Wednesday July 8, 2009
KUCHING: Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud wants the traditional knowledge of the state’s nearly 30 ethnic groups to be preserved through the use of information and communication technology (ICT).
These ethnic groups tend to pass down their knowledge orally from one generation to the next through stories and songs, he said.
“There is much to be learnt from these communities; the knowledge they have on health, history and way of life,” he said when opening an international conference on information technology at the Kuching Hilton yesterday.
The text of his speech was read out by his deputy Tan Sri Dr George Chan Hong Nam.
Taib urged Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas), which organised the four-day conference, and other research institutions to identify ways in which ICT could be used to preserve the traditional knowledge.
“There is a need, for example, to enhance speech recognition technologies to speed up the process of converting speech to text so that the text could be stored and analysed.”
He said machine translation software, which Unimas was researching on, should be developed for local languages.
The move, he added, would enable indigenous languages to be translated to English.
Taib commended Unimas for its successful e-Bario project, which brought IT access to villagers in the Kelabit Highlands of northern Sarawak.
“Unimas will be at the heart of the state’s multimedia super corridor activities, particularly looking at the incubation facilities for technology start-ups and in addressing the state’s human resource development needs.” said Taib.

Melanau - The People
When i went study outside Sarawak, my friends from other states (Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah) will says that mostly Melanau people looks like Chinese. I will say not all looks like Chinese. It maybe because they refer it to me. If they refer it to me, i am not purely Melanau. So, i am not a good example of how purely Melanau looks like. How to describe us? Hmm.. Again, i am not good in describing but maybe you guys can have a look at this blog posts that i found. The blogger is from Mukah and this posts is about Melanau traditional wedding at Mukah. Quite interesting to read and she got a beauitiful collections of photos.
Click to this link: Twinkle and Me
A lots of mix-marriage is happen now so i am not sure what will the next generations of Melanau will looks like. As for myself, part of my blood is Chinese and my sisters and brothers already married to other races as well. My nephew is more into Chinese blood because my brother married to Chinese lady. So...what left for Melanau blood in my family. I am not sure too..That's why i am gathering informations about Melanau here and i am sure i will find a lot more after this.
Mun sabei, ako debei rapa bak peduli angai gak adat a liko atau mana-mana pasal a liko. Tapi ajau ih ko pilak idak angai ji wak ngak neliluk. Apatah agei bila a lakei-lakei wak memigang adat gak kapong ngak matai min. Lian ih, gak kapong ko mun lian a kawin kurang angai ji agei wak menak surong berian. Adet debei rapa nebak ji agei. Luin suka aluk kawin cara aliko putik. Kawin gak restorenlah wak paling senang. Ienlah tan wak menak ko luk pinyi idak aluk pasal ji gaya udip a liko wak saji atang. Ako keman umit angai debei nelajer lo mak ko pasal adet a liko.

Writing In English
My previous plan was to write in my mother tongue but then the knowledge can not be spread out and shared. So, i have decided to keep writing in Melanau language but only a few but will write more in English especially when it comes to information about my ethnic group, the MELANAU. I am happy if i can share more information about this small group of people. Even in Sarawak, the traditional Melanau is become smaller in numbers because of mix-marriage and the traditions is not pass down to the younger generations. I admit that me myself not knowing so much about my own culture and traditions.
So, i hope by doing some research online (articles and journals about Melanau) and looking back at my own people at my village then i can share more infromations about Melanau. Thanks for those who interested to know more about my ethnic group.
