KUCHING: Sarawak is known for its man-eating crocodiles and the locals have been terrified of them since the existence of the man-beast conflict.
In fact, there is a popular Iban legend of a notorious crocodile nicknamed Bujang Senang that was supposed to be the reincarnation of a warrior who was killed many years ago. Apparently, the warrior had sworn to terrorise the descendants of the folks who had killed him.
Incidentally, in May 1992, a six-metre-long crocodile – dubbed Bujang Senang by the locals – was killed at a tributary of the Batang Lupar River in Sri Aman after it attacked an Iban woman.
