Malaysia is a vibrant tapestry of cultures, where each community brings its own unique traditions, stories, and ways of life. Among these rich cultural expressions are traditional games, which are simple yet meaningful pastimes that reflect the values, creativity, and heritage of different ethnic groups. These games, passed down through generations, are more than just entertainment as they are living links to history, community, and cultural pride. The objective of this e-portfolio is to learn more about traditional games of minor cultures in Malaysia.

MUKAH, 7 Jan (Malaysiaaktif)- Permainan tradisional seperti Bidar Lukut, Tibo, dan Mainan Asin kini dimainkan semula oleh generasi muda terutama kaum lelaki di Kampung Tellian Daya (Tellian Ulu) untuk mengisi masa lapang mereka.

Antara yang menjadi tarikan ialah Perlumbaan "Bidar Lukut" yang merupakan satu hobi sukan air yang selalu dimainkan ketika sungai cetek bagi generasi muda kira-kira 40 tahun yang lalu.

Malaysiaaktif sempat berkunjung ke tempat permainan tersebut semasa pertandingan sukan air yang dikenali sebagai "Lubak Bidar Lukut" itu dianjurkan Kelab Tujunokala Kampung Seri Tellian (Tellian Tengah) dan Kampung Tellian Daya semalam.

Menurut Pengerusi Kelab Tujunokala Kampung Seri Tellian (Tellian Tengah) dan Kampung Tellian Daya, Jinew Jaraei, setiap bidar dikenakan bayaran RM10 sekali perlumbaan.

"Hari ini sebanyak 75 buah bidar didaftarkan maka perlumbaan akan dibuat selama dua hari dan kutipan sudah mejangkau RM750," katanya.

"Dengan adanya kutipan yang dikumpul nanti kita akan menyediakan trek perlumbaan yang lebih sesuai lagi dan duit itu juga kita beri sebagai sagu hati kepada belia-belia yang bertugas.

"Permainan ini juga sesuai apabila ada tiupan angin yang kuat kerana pergerakannya dipengaruhi oleh angin dan manusia hanya mengawalnya dari belakang supaya bidar tersebut tidak melanggar bidar lain,"ujarnya.

Sementara itu, penduduk di tepi Sungai Tellian, Salem Sekah, hobi itu memang sesuai untuk dimainkan tetapi ketika sungai cetek sahaja. Jika maka tidak sesuai kerana air sangat deras mengalir walupun ada angin.

"Walau bagaimanapun, bidar lukut tidak akan dapat bergerak jika tidak mempunyai layar. Lukut itu ialah layarnya.

"Laju atau perlahan pergerakan bidar lukut pula bergantung kepada reka bentuk perahu dan saiz lukut yang biasanya berukuran kira-kira satu meter panjang, 19 sentimeter (sm) lebar dan lapan sm tinggi. Inilah replika perahu bidar sebenar yang digunakan dalam sukan air regatta," ujarnya.

Dalam pada itu, penganjur Remmy Ramai Sukup berkata mereka dahulu membuat perlumbaan bidar lukut secara suka-suka sahaja tanpa sebarang hadiah. Kini dengan adanya bermacam-macam hadiah berbentuk wang tunai dan piala berjaya menarike minat belia kampung yang semakin ramai mereka bentuk perahu masing-masing.

"Dulu kami berlumba bidar lukut ini secara bebas tanpa ada laluan seperti trek perlumbaan namun sekarang timbul idea generasi muda maka trek perlumbaan dibuat dengan menggunakan batang buluh disusun memanjang agar perahu tersebut berjalan sendiri tanpa dikawal oleh pemiliknya,"ujarnya.

Pesta ini jelas menonjolkan keunikan permainan tradisional Melanau kepada generasi muda agar tidak pupus sekali gus mampu menjadi tarikan pelancongan di kawasan Mukah.
