Another place we wanted to visit very much was Lamin Dana. Unfortunately it was closed.

So we just walked blindly and taking shots as we moved along. Notice the sago trunks floating along the river?

We didn’t go unnoticed. Curious faces followed us wherever we went.

After some time, I began to feel a little lost. All the walkways were interconnected however.

At this juncture, we were fortunate enough to meet Augustine who was kind enough to show us the way and tell us a little bit more of the history, past and present of Kampung Tellian.

He solved the mystery of the jerunai for us. Apparently jerunai is a burial pole. A part of the remnants of the history of the place still visible until this day.

Puan Junita was kind enough to explain to us the process of making sago pearls. Visiting her factory was like a visit to her home. Somehow I feel I won’t forget Kampung Tellian folks hospitality and kindness for a long time.

One of the houses in Kampung Tellian. Many thanks to Phillip for the generous loan of his pics. As I have mentioned before, my batteries had already gone flat on the last day we were in Mukah.
Very big and nice photos! I like the “curious face”, “augustine” and the man on wheelchair. They kinda made me felt like I was there. Awesome shots!
This is an excellent post!! Can I link a future post to this on sago pearls?
Excellent photos! What kind of camera?
Oh, the pics here from Philip aka Rubberseeds. Feel free to link. Suituapui suggests that pearls be replaced with pellets
I like curious face and this would be a place I would love to visit
Great photo essay. Would have been suitable for this week’s Photo Hunt but seeing it on my weekly visit was a bonus!
heard that mukah has nothing to visit one =.=
that’s why we never plan to visit this place…
Interesting…I really love your pics and those of your friends’.
Sago pellets. Or ‘saguk’ as they called locally. Sago pearls would be those white little balls made from sago flour that become translucent when boiled. Used to make sago pudding or in bubur cacar and those ‘pearl’ milk drinks.
So this place is famous for their sago?
You manage to get any sago worms? hehe.
I seriously need to visit the Borneo states one day….
Thanks for the tour….
i like the potrait of the people.. especially the granny.. well taken!
i proud to be mukah people
You are indeed lucky to be Mukah people. It is a lovely place which has seen tremendous development in the past decade or so
When I see the photos of my kampung, I missed it very much. I feel like to be back home.
i think i know how u feel. i lived in Mukah for six years
Very Good effort! Tahniah kerana memaparkan imej-imej Mukah yang menarik..
