During this time there is a belief that is circulating especially in Sambas society and West Borneo society, that there are Bunian people who live in the Paloh kingdom led by Raden Sandi, which still binds the blood with Sambas kingdom and the Kingdom of Brunei. Paloh Kingdom is located in District Paloh Sambas district which is the most northerly districts in Sambas district, and directly adjacent to the Sarawak-Malaysia and the Natuna Sea.
The kingdom and Bunian people can not be seen with the naked eye. However, they often blend in with the community sambas like folk markets, public transportations, at the edge of the river, even in the supermarket. While mingling, people Bunian remain physically indistinguishable. For example, on the face. The Bunian known to not have a line or rather elongated indentation between the nose to the upper lip. Other characteristics, the Bunian has a distinctive shape eyebrows. His eyebrows are bushy and looks like one.
Bunian people are not the type of creatures who like to bully and terrorizing humans but quite the opposite likes to mingle with human nature in social interest and provide assistance. Such as at that time that’s happened ethnic clash diamond bloody events which involve indigenous (ethnic Dayak and Malay) with immigrants (ethnic Madurese). In the town of Sambas at that moment suddenly comes a bunch of people who are not known where it came from, which helps indigenous ethnic repel intruders without remainder.
My friend who came from Sambas told me that at that time the residents in her village excited with the confusion of motorcycle dealers that looking for an address to deliver the bike to their house buyers. Because after a search, evidently, the buyer’s home address is wilderness with no residents settlement at all.
Believe it or not, but this belief is still held by Sambas society and West Borneo society, that the Bunian people exist. And they are still living together and always pay attention to us and keep us from a distance. Are you interested to prove the existence of Bunian people? Please come directly to Paloh, Sambas, West Borneo.
