On May 22, 1992,
an Iban girl, Dayang anak Bayang was killed by Bujang Senang at Pelaban River, another tributary of the great Batang Lupar River near Lingga in Sri Aman Division, Sarawak, Malaysia. The killer crocodile was shot to death by several police sharpshooters and Iban hunters after a four-hour ordeal. It was the biggest and oldest crocodile ever caught in the area.

Jong’s Crocodile Farm,
atau Taman Buaya Jong di Sarawak adalah adalah sebuah kawasan persendirian yang menempatkan lebih 1000 ekor buaya dari pelbagai jenis dan saiz. Ia terletak di sekitar daerah Padawan (sepanjang jalan Kuching-Serian) dan boleh dilawati dengan perjalanan kira kira 45 minit dari bandar Kuching. Memandangkan Sarawak memang begitu sinonim buaya maka lawatan ke Jong’ Crocodile Farm ini seolah olah menjadi kemestian kepada pelancong dari luar Sarawak.

Buaya yang paling tersohor di Sarawak ini Buaya Hitam Putih yang diberi nama Bujang Senang. Bujang Senang menjadi mashur apabila sekumpulan buaya jenis ini mengamuk dan membaham manusia di sekitar Sungai Batang Lupar, Sri Aman, pada awal tahun 1990-an. Kehebatan Bujang Senang terserlah dengan kebolehannya untuk meloloskan diri dari penembak tepat (sniper), penangkap buaya professional dan juga bomoh dan pawang pawang sehingga ada sekumpulan masyarakat setempat menyatakan Bujang Senang adalah binatang jelmaan.

The crocodile’s smile
May hide many mysteries
None bode well for me

“Bujang Senang” The Happy Batchelor,
who haunted the Pelaban River in Sarawak, North Borneo in the 1980’s and 90’s.
