As far as I can remember, this is not the Dayak custom. They never had the technology to distill alcohol. Dayak Iban, Jangkang, Mualang and several other Dayak ethnics in the interior could only make tuak, a drink made from the fermentation of sticky rice and yeast. How did they learn of the dice? They never knew that the ancient Greeks loved to play using the dice. Maybe the ancestors of Dayak Salako interacted with the Chinese gold miners at Mandor and Monterado. By the Hee Soon group or Lanfang, around 1770M, before a small group of Dayak Salako came to Ambawang river and became the ancestors of Loncek village.
According to Yohanes Aboy, a community leader and Loncek’s Catholic head, the isolation of the village was only opened to outsiders in 2010, when a palm oil plantation owned by PT. Palmdale Agro Asia Lestari opened up a company and built a road to the area. The only route to the village at the time was using the river. If the river subsided,it would take up to three days and two nights using a motorboat to reach Loncek village from Pontianak city, the capital city of West Kalimantan.
