Abstract

GBV, Human security especially personal security. Security over scarce resources. The 1924 Kapit Peace-making was a pivotal event in Sarawak's history, bringing together indigenous communities such as the Iban, Kayan, Kenyah, Kajang, and Apo-Kayan to establish peace. This peace-making process was primarily oral, reflecting the Brookes' preference for minimal written formalities in native affairs. The event effectively ended inter-ethnic conflicts and solidified Sarawak's commitment to unity and harmony. However, a subsequent conflict arose with the formation of the Malaysian Federation. The Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation, or Konfrontasi, which spanned from 1963 to 1966, was a war waged by Indonesia to oppose Malaysia's formation. This conflict resulted in a breakdown of political, economic, and social relations, escalating to armed incursions, bomb attacks, and acts of subversion. Indonesia's opposition was driven by its view that the Federation had a neo-colonial status, particularly due to the continued presence of British military bases in Malaya and Singapore. Tensions were further compounded by the Communist insurgency in Sarawak, which had a predominantly Chinese composition. However, the insurgency was quelled in 1990 when remaining members of the Chinese Communist Party signed a treaty with the state, ending the threat.
