He took a photo of the legend, i don't know if it has the same name in Indonesia, and showed me in casual conversation.<br />I was astounded. First, as a bule from the British isles i must say that it is an excat copy of the Loch Ness monster. I know the river, but i won't mention it's name. It was photographed at the mouth of the river. He had no agenda, only relaying the story to me after i overheard him talking to another man.<br />They say in Kalimantan (most likely Dayaks) that when the "dragon" rises a natural disaster will vbefall the people.<br />There were two, he tells me, but one died.<br />That's true. I lost the phone with that picture but would be able to get another copy.Ronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241154554081401786.post-66118341178600904522012-05-21T10:30:14.328+08:002012-05-21T10:30:14.328+08:00I think it is a giant fake pic!I think it is a giant fake pic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241154554081401786.post-48822936396698759462010-08-17T12:36:53.525+08:002010-08-17T12:36:53.525+08:00the nabau story is real.. i have a friend, she saw...the nabau story is real.. i have a friend, she saw the nabau before because she used to stay in the house on the water in iban village.

People said it stays there and guard the Batang Baleh and Rejang river and never harmed people. And so if there's any indication of the nabau to show up, it would just mean that it wants something or kinda 'petanda'. Maybe it wants people to do a 'miring' ceremony. However, it has nothing to do with politics tho..<BR/>For these scenario, i think its better for us to bear in mind to know it exists and just leave it alone...it sets apart with other politics matter and has its own stories.<BR/>We respect nature and the nabau could be one of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241154554081401786.post-53720800473737656392009-02-26T14:02:00.000+08:002009-02-26T14:02:00.000+08:00yup.. bulak..

I dun believe and think she stupidly and purposedly did that, as the MSM propagates it...well, those who believe blindly are as uncivilized as Nabau too..if you like us to put it that way...hahahha.Owh, btw..we want to see the pics too...can you post it for us? U know, it's hard to believe in things people say, until you see the proofs. Like the second Nabau photo..it looks like a pile of bullshit..the first one appears to be real..so, which one is Elizabeth Wong? come on man, grow up! Don't be so September 10.. you still listen to/believe in the MSM propagation? Sukati iya lah ka tindok telanjai..sukati sida iya lah...after all, she's only sleeping, so what's the big farking deal?SICK!.. In fact, those who try to propagate the issue should be the prime suspect of setting her up or placing a pinhole camera in her room, and should be charged guilty...why are we so caught up/concentrating in someone's personal life rather, while there are so many more important things we have in this nearly God-forsaken country?
