Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban
A battle cry is always needed in every man. For example "AllahuAkhbar" is an islamic battlecry which will be used in war of Muslims. For Rentap, his battlecry is Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban which takes the meaning of I will fight as long as i live. This battlecry has been a renown phrase that has been used by the Ibans and also Malaysian people. Till this day, Rentap's battlecry still running around in every Malaysian remembering that the past is always be remembered.

The Picture of Rentap
Rentap or Libau died in 1863 was a famous Iban warrior in East Malaysia especially Sarawak. He was known as Raja Darat or Raja Ulu and his name Rentap means Shaker of the world.In Malaysia, he is not only known in Sarawak but also a hero in both Peninsula and East Malaysia as both national hero and freedom fighter. His rebellion was due to the White Rajah`s or James Brooke's of eliminating the Ibans in Skrang because he thought they were pirates of the sea. Being the leader od Ibans there, Rentap took the action to attack James Brook fort at Skrang River called Nanga Skrang. Brooke then burnt Rentap's village after he successfully drove James Brooke`s side of Skrang. He retreated to Bukit Sadok and built himself a fort after the defeat at Sungai Lang, Ulu Skrang by James Brooke in 1854. There he gained reputation and fight off many plans by James Brooke to control the Skrang and Saribas areas. At last after many attempts and with the aids of bigger cannons, James Brooke finally defeat Rentap in 1861. Rentap never officially surrendered even though he was defeated. He finally retreated to Sungai Entabai and died there.
