Bujang Senang (The Giant White Crocodile)

My friend, vShan, hope i can write more about Sarawak story especially about Bujang Senang, so i write it now as i promise him before holidays.


Legendary gaint white crocodile, nicknamed "Bujang Senang", that is said to have terrorised the Batang Lupar River which located at Sri Aman in Sarawak. Said to be more than 20 feet in length. A man claimed to have shot and killed Bujang Senang back in 1992 but others remarked that it was the wrong croc. The Malaysian-Borneo legend has been around for more than 50 years with the most tales having been heard from someone's great-grandfather or grand-uncle.

"Bujang" means "bachelor" in Malay language
"Senang" means "easy" or "leisurely"


Bujang Senang or "Leisurely Bachelor" was the name for a huge crocodile that grew to 19 feet and 4 inches. The crocodiles is notorious as a man-eating "monster". It had well-formed and worn canines on its huge jaws. Bujang Senang was well known back in 1993 when it went on its killing rampage around Sri Aman area. The Batang Lupar River, which flows through Sri Aman, still conjures up fearsome images, as it was home to this legendary killer. It was struck down by a shotgun shell in Sg. Pelaban in Lingga Batang Lupar at Sri Aman.

Jong's Crocodile Farm
If you want to know about notorious Sarawak's man-eating crocodile, Bujang Senang, then you must visit to Jong's Crocodile Farm. Located 30 kilometre from Kuching on the Kuching-Serian road, the farm has more than 1000 crocodiles bred in capativity.

Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai

Today is 1st of June and is a big celebration in Sabah and Sarawak. Selamat Hari Gawai to all my Dayak's friends. Enjoy dancing, eating and tuak!!

The word Gawai means a ritual or festival whereas Dayak is a collective name for the natives races in Sarawak; the Iban, Bidayuh, Kayan, Kenyah, Kelabit, Murut and a few more. Thus Gawai Dayak literally means the Dayak Festival.

The mode of celebrations varies from place to place. Preparation starts very early. Tuak (rice wine) are brewed and traditional delicacies like penganan (cakes from rice flour, sugar and coconut milk) prepared. As the big day approaches, everyone will be busy with the general cleaning and preparing the food or cakes. On Gawai eve, glutinous rice are roasted in bamboo (ngelulun pulut). In the longhouse, new mats will be laid out on the ruai (an open gallery which runs through the entire length of the longhouse). The walls of most bilik (rooms) and the ruai are decorated with pua kumbu (traditional blanket).

The celebration starts on the evening of 31st May. In most Iban's longhouse, it starts with a ceremony called Muai Antu Rua (to cast away the spirit of greediness), signifying the non interference of the spirit of bad luck in the celebration. Two children or men each dragging a chapan or winnowing basket will pass each family room. Every family will throw some unwanted article into the basket. The unwanted articles will be tossed to the ground from the end of the longhouse for the spirit of bad luck.

Around 6 pm, miring (offering ceremony) will take place. Before the ceremony, gendang rayah (ritual music) is performed. The feast chief thanks the gods for the good harvest, ask for guidance, blessings and long life as he sacrifices a cockerel. Dinner will then be served at the ruai. While waiting for midnight, the folks gather and mingle at the ruai and berandau (talk/converse). Meanwhile, drinks, traditional cakes and delicacies are served.

At midnight, the gong is sounded. The tuai rumah will lead everyone to drink the Ai Pengayu (normally tuak for long life) and at the same time wishing each other "gayu-guru, gerai-nyamai" (long life, health and prosperity). A procession up and down the ruai called Ngalu Petara (Welcoming the Spirits) will follow. The celebration by now will get more merrier. Some will dance to the traditional music played. Others will sing the pantun (poems). In the town, the Dayak will gather at the community centres or restaurants for a enliven the evening.

Other activities that may follow the next day include cock-fighting, demonstration of blowpipe skills and ngajat competitions. On this day, 1st June, the homes of the Dayaks will be opened to visitors. In the longhouses, there is a practises called masu pengabang where guests will be served with tuak by the host before they can enter the longhouse. Dayaks will attend a church mass to thanks God for the good harvest. Gawai Dayak celebration may last for several days. Visitors are most welcome to the homes of the Dayaks during the festival.
