During Datuk Patinggi Mohd Najib, the Deputy PM’s visit to DBNA headquarters, one of the attraction that grabbed everyone’s attention was a couple of gigantic Bidayuh drums called Sebang.
Each measuring about 2 ft in diameter and 12 ft long, roared thunderously in the otherwise tranquil neighbourhood of Jalan Ong Tiang Swee, followed by deafening applause of Tera … Tera Tera Tera … oh oh oh … hi hi hi … welcoming the DPM, sending wild eerie echo across Kuching City.
Ok this is weird. I’ve been a Bidayuh all my life and I’ve never heard of this thing called Sebang. Are you sure they dint just make it up? I’m pretty sure I’d know if this thing even existed…. hmmmmmmmmmmmm….
