Notes From Elsewhere

H.S. [Stephen] Morris on the Coastal Melanau of Oya and Mukah (1953, 1977, 1991) ... Dr Stephen Morris at the LSE who had undertaken a classic early study of the coastal Melanau of Sarawak; Stephen Morris’ wife happened to be Barbara Ward ... Morris’ interest was obvious in that the populations referred to by Edmund Leach as ‘Kajang’ in the Upper Rejang region, which included the Punan Bah, had historical and cultural connections with the coastal Melanau whom Morris had studied. ... At the museum, Stephen Morris, with whom we had pleasant curries together in India Street, and who had a wonderful sense of humour and a dry wit, was engaged along with Cliff Sather and Hatta Solhee in gathering data for the Miri-Bintulu regional planning study [Beyond romance by Victor King]
