Twenty-three forts were built during the White Rajahs rule since 1842. Forts or locally known as “kubu” formed a unique legacy left by the Rajahs. The presence and importance of forts is  ubiquitous but it is still under studied. Forts are tangible heritage which will generate much interest from tourists and visitors for a few reasons. There are no other states in Malaysia having as many fortified historical monuments as Sarawak. The forts were built with distinctive architectural designs and materials to suit the local climate. These ‘outstation’ forts as some scholars call (see Chua, 2001 and Ting, 2009) are a testament of the Rajahs appreciation of local culture with the incorporation of designs peculiar to Malay houses and Iban longhouses. Forts and bazaar towns in Sarawak grow in tandem with its community. This study will put ‘lives’ back into forts and the bazaar towns by documenting stories and memories from the local communities. The local consist of the Malay community who moved further inland from coastal area; the Chinese community who migrated and settled as gardeners, shop operators, boat hawkers; Iban community who peddle their boats downriver for trade or other purposes, other Dayak communities who travel to the bazaar town upon invitation by the colonial or for official purposes. Memories from the communities about their lives in the bazaars with special reference to the forts will be implored in this study. From the collection of memories, this study  envisages to capture the social history of Sarawak people through its connection with the forts. It aspires to supplement the ‘official’ history of Sarawak by the collection and documentation of the ‘lived’ experiences of the people. The collective memory and stories serve as a conduit to the time when Sarawak was expanding as a country   under the Rajah. Stories told by older generations will provide meaningful insights into how lives were lived, how battles were fought, how trades were negotiated among others. The purpose of this study is to achieve the following objectives: 1. To compile the social history of forts and its relationship with local communities.2. To collect stories about memory of forts among the local comunities.3. To examine the potential of forts in heritage tourism.

Future-ready curriculum is a curriculum that focuses on interdisciplinary, non-cognitive and global values. Of the three focuses, the interdisciplinary aspect is considered challenging for the teaching of undergraduate courses in anthropology and sociology. The definition of interdisciplinary here refers to three domains of cognitive skills namely linguistic, mathematical and technological. Granted, the current practice of social sciences research already incorporates data science and quantitative measurement, the similar degree of technicality does not extend to undergraduate teaching in anthropology and sociology degree in the Malaysian academic context. This study shall explore what constitutes the structure of ‘fluid’ and ‘organic’ curriculum based on the theoretical framework issued by Jabatan Pendidikan Tinggi “Future-ready curriculum in public universities” and its application in the context of undergraduate teaching in anthropology and sociology.  Researchers consulted stakeholders in job sectors such as in heritage, human resource, business and social services. The input from the former graduates currently employed are also solicited to gain a balanced understanding. The finding from the study will inform the programme members of the current potential and challenges awaits the future-ready curriculum. This is a service-based or community-based learning programme, as a part of the HIEPs course SPP3034 Politics of Developing Countries. The project entitled Ngeratan Jeman Ngemansangka Bangsa was conducted in SK Nanga Kesit and Kampung Serubah Ulu, Lubok Antu, Sarawak. The journey by land from Univerisiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) took almost 7 hours. We made several trips prior to the actual event where we surveyed, coordinated, communicated and finally, engaged with the community during our project.The focus of this service-based or community-based learning was to repair and repaint the library, the notice boards and Rukun Negara wording behind the main hall at the school. The activities also include giving a talk in educating the students, parents and villagers on healthy food, breast cancer awareness and the ways to pursue their studies in public universities. This project emphasised on providing the initiative to reduce development issues faced by the people and to understand the living patterns in the remote area of Lubok Antu, Sarawak. The project also encourages our students to apply theories and to shape their thinking and perspectives that is aligned with the Ministry of Education’s policies. Finally, the aim of this initiative is to increase interpersonal skills among the students and also for the visibility of UNIMAS as an educational institution.
