Iban war cry goes up on Twitter

The Sarawak National Party has switched its Twitter account to <http://twitter.com/ngelaban> with the Twitter handle @ngelaban, after its original account at mySNAP was suspended a few days ago, for unspecified reasons. The party said it believed Twitter suspended the account because the party had sent too many Tweets. The new Twitter handle @ngelaban is derived from the Iban war cry Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban, the motto of the famed Sarawak Rangers.

Originally a territorial regiment, the Sarawak Rangers were absorbed into the Malaysian Army and reconstituted as a multi-ethnic nine-battalion regiment, comprising light infantry, mechanised infantry (7th Rangers) and airborne infantry or paratroopers (8th Rangers). Iban and Dayak culture lives on in regimental traditions.

Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban, meaning To Fight To The Death, is also variously described as While I Breathe, I Hope from the Brooke family motto Dum Spiro Spero, While I Breathe I Fight, and Whilst There Is Life, There Is Fight. The Brooke family motto was also the motto of the Kingdom of Sarawak.
