Starting off. my blog will inform on the origin of Libau Rentap. Libau is a an Ibanese name which translates "earth shaker" . Born in the Skrang area of Second Division in Sarawak . He lived normally as an Ibanese kid in the longhouse. he started to be known when he was appointed to be leading fighting man in the village . In the village he was then called "manok sabong" which literally means "fighting cockerel". The name was given by a paramount chief  of the Sarawak Division who goes by the name of, Orang Kaya Pemancha Dana "Bayang"

From that day forward, Rentap took up Orang Kaya Pemancha Dana as his mentor in being a warrior and had fought many battles in order to keep peace in the division. His name struck up to other divisions of When he killed a boatful of Sambas and and on that boat was the nephew of Sultan Sambas which also had his 'keris' looted by Rentap. From that incident, he was then recognised from the 'Dayak Iban Skrangs' or tribes who are aware for his chivalry and bravery .
