Imifanekiso yeeNgwenya kunye neenyoka kwisithili saseLawas zinokuba nomtsalane kubakhenkethi nje ukuba iMyuziyam yaseSarawak ibeke imiqondiso eyiyo ngakubo.
Umlawuli weMyuziyam u-Ipoi Datan uthe kufutshane nekhulu leendawo ezinemifanekiso eqingqiweyo efunyenwe lisebe ukuza kuthi ga ngoku.
“Ngoku senza uphando ngemifanekiso eqingqiweyo. Kwezinye iindawo ezintle siza kucoca le ndawo, sibeke nemiqondiso echaza ukuba ziyintoni na, ukuze zibe nomtsalane kubakhenkethi,” utshilo.
Iimpawu bekulindeleke ukuba zibekwe endaweni kwinyanga ezayo.
U-Ipoi uthe kwakuyisiko likaLun Bawang kwixesha elidlulileyo ukwakha imifanekiso eqingqiweyo ngendlela yeengwenya okanye iinyoka ukukhumbula uloyiso okanye ukuthatha iintloko njengeendondo.
“Imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yayisenziwa emhlabeni. Zazakhiwe emva kokuba igorha lifumene intloko yotshaba okanye liphumelele uloyiso.
"Ngumntu othathe intloko kuphela onokwenza umfanekiso oqingqiweyo kwaye uqhele ukwenziwa kangangeentsuku ezininzi," uxelele Inkwenkwezi emva kokubhengeza umnyhadala ozayo weLun Bawang eDewan Tun Abdul Razak apha izolo.
Ngokutsho kwe-Ipoi, imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yaqala kwiminyaka eyi-100 kwaye yayihlala i-20ft ukuya kwi-30ft ubude (6m ukuya kwi-9m).
Nangona kunjalo, uthe owona mfanekiso mkhulu ukuba ufunyenwe kurhulumente yi-53ft (16m) ebizwa ngokuba ngu-Ulung Buayeh e-Long Kerabangan.
Wathi le effigy ethile yakhiwa emva Ulu Trusan Expedition yasungulwa ngo 1900 ngoko Rajah Charles Brooke nxamnye neenkokeli ezininzi Lun Bawang kwindawo Trusan phezulu.
“Imikhosi yaseBrooke ibifuna ukubabamba kodwa bakwazile ukusaba. Mhlawumbi baziva boyisile kwaye bonwabile ngokuphepha ukubanjwa, ngoko ke benza umfanekiso okhethekileyo, ”utshilo u-Ipoi.
Wongezelela ukuba ezinye imifanekiso eqingqiweyo ingabonwa kwi-Long Kerabangan, kuquka i-Ulung Agung ene-gong kunye ne-Ulung Darung, eyayikwimo yenyoka kunye ne-93ft (28m) ubude.
Eminye imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yeengwenya nayo yafunyanwa eBang Ubon eBa Kelalan.
Ngaphandle kweLun Bawang, uluntu lwase-Iban lwakha imifanekiso eqingqiweyo yeengwenya kwixesha elidlulileyo. Ngaphezulu kweendawo ezingama-40 ezakhiwe zii-Iban ezifunyenwe phakathi kweBetong neBalingian.
