Betong

Betong plays a significant role in Sarawak history, as it was where many protests against the Brooke administration took place. These clashes also resulted in the building of Fort Lily some 164 years ago during the Brooke era in an attempt to thwart attacks by Iban warrior, Rentap and his followers. The fortress also served as an administration centre and a police station in Betong and is the oldest fortress in the state.
