  1. Wonderful legend:

    Admiral Cheng Ho from Ming Dynasty of China sent a fleet to Santubong area to trade. They have smaller ship called water ship and tag with crab boats. The story told by old folks link to a small river of Pasir Pendek where it is still famous for the creamy delicious Durians.

    The Navy Marines fighter ganged with local hunters for wild pigs. The moment when a huge wild pig apparently trying to protect the young piglets chasing the local hunter ( name X X X), he sprinted and climbed up a tree as the fierce wild pig started to knocked the tree where he was using as a temporary safe next. The tree jerked and could gave way. Out of desperate situation, Mr X shouted in Khek language ' San Chu Bong' which signify a giant wild pig.( Bong means King or huge)

    So I guess you know the story link to Santubong. Which has no literay meaning by that word. So do you believe it
