Such performances can elevate visitors' experience at Iban longhouse homestays in Sarawak. Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing is urging a significant push to preserve Sarawak's vibrant indigenous heritage through traditional longhouse homestays. These cultural accommodations could not only boost tourism, but also enrich rural communities, he said. During a series of Gawai Dayak visits to several Iban longhouses in the Bintulu area, Tiong expressed admiration for Rumah Raymond Plen, which still retains its rich, traditional architecture. 'It's absolutely beautiful and full of character,' he said. 'Traditional longhouses like this are becoming increasingly rare in Bintulu, so finding one so well preserved is truly special.' The minister noted that longhouse visits allowed travellers to immerse themselves in authentic local customs, cuisine and ceremonies, some of which are seldom seen, even by locals. 'At places like Rumah Raymond, visitors not only enjoy authentic dishes like ayam pansoh, but also witness traditions such as the sacred Gawai Antu ceremony. 'It's mysterious, solemn and incredibly meaningful.' Tiong (in blue) with two longhouse residents during his Gawai visit. Tiong said many international tourists still hold outdated perceptions of Sarawak's native communities as some foreigners believe that they live in the jungle. 'This misconception is why I've instructed officers at the ministry to go all out in promoting and preserving our precious cultural heritage,' he said. He said homestay development in longhouses would enable tourists to truly experience the indigenous way of life, while directly benefitting local communities. 'If longhouses can be turned into homestays, not only will visitors gain deeper appreciation for our heritage, but villagers will also benefit economically. 'It's a win-win for culture and the rural economy,' he added. Tiong said the ministry was open to supporting longhouses that wish to be upgraded or developed for tourism purposes. He urged interested longhouse communities to get in touch with his office or local tourism officers on the matter. With over 1,000 ministry officers nationwide, Tiong reaffirmed the government's commitment to strengthening cultural tourism as a key pillar of national tourism growth. 'Cultural tourism isn't just about watching from the sidelines. It's a meaningful way to preserving and carrying on our identity. 'It's about developing traditions and economy side by side,' he said. Among the longhouses he visited during the Gawai celebrations were Rumah Saging, Rumah Joseph Gima, Rumah Moses Kamarau, Rumah Joshua Manit Bayu, Rumah Unji Brain and Rumah Emi Mesa.

Educating travellers key to combating travel scams, says deputy Tourism minister
KOTA KINABALU: The Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry is working closely with relevant agencies to tackle the rise of online travel scams, particularly those involving fake travel promotions. Its Deputy Minister Datuk Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan said the spread of such scams has become a growing concern, especially as more Malaysians rely on online platforms to make travel bookings. 'We are aware that online scammers are spreading, especially through fake travel promotions. That is why the ministry, in collaboration with the Communications Ministry and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), is working on strategies to curb these scams,' he said. Khairul Firdaus noted that while it is not easy to eliminate scams entirely, the ministry believes that user education is a crucial step in preventing people from falling victim. 'Education is key, especially for users. Still, we cannot blame users 100%, which is why the ministry has partnered with several agencies to address the issue,' he told reporters after launching the N26 Moyog Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) annual conference. Also present was Moyog Gagasan Rakyat division head Datuk Ceasar Mandela Malakun, who is also the political secretary to Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor. and the division advisor, Datuk John Ambrose. Khairul Firdaus said that his ministry has an operational office that actively follows up on complaints involving travel-related fraud. 'If companies are reported, we will provide the necessary details and clarifications. We are committed to ensuring that consumers are protected and given the correct information,' he said. He also reminded travellers to remain vigilant when dealing with online travel offers and to verify the authenticity of agencies and promotions through official channels. 'This is about maintaining public trust in the tourism industry and ensuring people feel safe when making travel plans,' he said.
