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.

Hi, just thought you should know the pics you posted are not Bujang Senang's.
Bujang means male croc without a mate, while 'Senang' is the name of the river tributary along the Batang Lupar which was its habitat (based on regularity of its sightings) - and not "Easygoing bachelor". Female crocs are known as either 'Dayang' or 'Dara'(without a mate).
Sorry for the correction, i just like to see facts stated correctly in what i read, wherever :)
