SARIKEI, May 31 (Bernama) — The Gawai Dayak celebrations took on a sad and heart-rending note for about 300 residents in Sungai Mugu, Muara Payang here when fire destroyed their 16-door longhouse Tuesday evening.
The blaze which struck the Rumah Benang Anak Pirang at 6.45pm, left the residents homeless, and with just the clothes on their back.
The fire is believed to have started from the kitchen of a room at the longhouse.
