The Iban use trobes to express their feelings of sadness and happiness, hatred and admiration, curse and compliment, and to channel their requests for favour, needs and wants. These are elements of a serious pantun. However, some pantun are just entertainment,usually carrying romantic messages. This book offers both. Pantun is worth learning and understanding, especially if you wish to be sung to and offered a glass of rice wine'--Publisher's website ER -
