Rentap Libau and His Legacy.

"Agi idup,agi ngelaban"; Fight As Long As You Live. 

He died in 1870 and the whole Borneo was in shock as one of the strongest Raja Ulu was never to be heard again Libau RENTAP was a man of principal. He swore that he would never see the face of a White Man again in his life. He met several defeats but never surrendered. He had been branded as a great rebellious Dayak Iban War Leader, hunted high and low and yet he managed to live until he met his natural death during the period of his retirement from active war fighting. He fought gallantly defending his country land and his people from several attacks made by the intruders until his whole power was broken on 28 October 1861 but not his life.

Rentap Libau's Grave located at Entabai, Sarawak. 

His name is still mentioned and remembered today as a great Dayak Iban Chief and Dayak Iban War Leader and also the Hero of Bukit Sadok in the history of Sarawak and Malaysia. He continues to inspire some Iban Dayaks especially those who joined the military initially as trackers like the Malaysia’s most decorated war hero Kanang anak Langkau, Awang anak Raweng and other heroes. His battlecry  was " Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban" which means that "I will fight as long I will live" . He is a legacy to be cherished and remembered forever.
