For the Iban community in Sarawak, they believe in the nature of death after the so-called afterlife of nature. The universe was told for generations by the Iban older generation, and they had to follow the custom and taboo set by the creator called the Petara. Tukang Sabak plays an important role in sending the dead soul to a suitable place where it is supposed to be.
