Now, I would like to tell you soe throwback on how the innovation of Rumah Panjang occurs in Sarawak!
On 9th October 2009, the state government intends
to bring value and new style to the longhouses of Sarawak without compromising
the unique features of the house panjang. Housing Minister Datuk Amar Abang
Johari said the longhouse seminar held to get input from various Iban community
leaders, Bidayuh and Orang Ulu. Strata titles for each room will be removed and
thus can be used as collateral when applying for loans. Home insurance can also
be removed for the safety of home. Usually longhouse has 10 and 20 rooms. Each
longhouse has a “ verandah “ of space with room located at the front of the
house where most of the activities are held in place . Architects of the Iban
will ensure not toeliminate the "Harvest Home" which became the head
of the longhouse. Their administrative rights will be maintained. In a
traditional Malay village, the village chief to the chief of the village
involved, designing a new form it may be the same as the concept of a shop lot
with his fifth leg but still maintain the long housing design.
