Stung By Outcry, Malaysia Gov't Reverses Bible Ban -- 05/01/2003 The decision to ban the Iban edition drew widespread condemnation, lead to heated debate on Malaysian online news portals, and prompted the launch of a petition that was signed by 1,400 people within a week. Asked whether the Iban language had another word that could be used for "God," Wong explained that as a formerly animist tribe, the Iban had "all sorts of gods" and care had to be taken not to cause confusion through bad translation. Wong described the Iban as a tribe renowned in the past for fierceness in battle, but which at the same time was also fearful because of the many gods it acknowledged. www.cnsnews.com /ViewForeignBureaus.asp?Page=\ForeignBureaus\archive\200305\FOR20030501a.html   (2108 words)

Borneo: reaping the fruits of ecotourism In Sarawak, the Iban people welcome some 1,000 tourists every year into their longhouses. While the Iban living in this area are reasonably self-sufficient in terms of food and can manufacture most of their daily necessities from local materials, they did not—until recently—have a steady cash income as the distance from markets makes cash crop farming and market gardening unfeasible. The traditional Iban dwelling is the longhouse, a semi-permanent structure housing 20 or more families in separate living apartments. www.unesco.org /courier/2000_05/uk/doss25.htm   (948 words)
