The legends surrounding Bukit Tempayan Pisang can be promoted to attract tourists.
This
suggestion was yesterday made by Minister of Home Affairs Pehin Udana
Khatib Dato Paduka Seri Setia Ustaz Hj Awg Badaruddin bin Pengarah Dato
Paduka Hj Awg Othman when he officially launched the Bukit Tempayan
Pisang Recreational Park in Kg Kapok.
The hill (bukit) and the
caves in the area are a source of interesting folk tales, which he said,
could be researched and told to tourists and also young children.
According
to local legend, Bukit Tempayan Pisang in Kampong Kapok was once
believed to be the home of Bunian princesses, the supernatural beings
who on the 14th day and 15th day of every month and during full moon,
played with ‘kemala’ stones that emitted a bright light and held
‘celestial’ powers.
It was because of the supernatural powers of
the stones that a feud broke out between the Bunian princesses and the
guardian of Mount Kinabalu.
According to legend, in the battle to
possess the mystical stones, the guardian of Mount Kinabalu used a
mortar, while the Bunian princesses fought back using only banana stems
which were placed in large earthen jars (tempayan).
It was the Bunian princesses’ use of the banana stems and earthen jars that led to the hill being named ‘Tempayan Pisang’.
The
princesses only managed to keep two of the stones, while the remaining
five were seized by the guardian of Mount Kinabalu. Despite that, the
princesses continued to play with the two remaining stones during full
moon.
Legend has it that up till the 1940s, residents living in
the vicinity could see lights coming from the Bukit Tempayan Pisang
every full moon.
The two caves – Radat Cave and Harimau Cave – located somewhere at the top of the hill are also associated with myths.
Radat
Cave was named after Awang Radat, a resident of Kampong Serasa, known
for his bravery and supernatural powers. It was believed he often,
particularly during the full moon, went to the cave to meet a Bunian
princess, who he later married.
Harimau (tiger) cave, as its name
suggests, was once believed to be a home to two tigers. According to the
legend, a newly-wed couple, Awang Mawar and Dayang Mawar were heading
towards Tanjung Kemuning in Kampong Kapok from Kampong Serasa on foot,
crossing the Tempayan Pisang Hill. During their journey, the wife had to
make a stop but she insisted that the husband continue and that she
would follow suit.
But after a while, after noticing that his wife
had failed, to catch up, the man back-tracked, only to find his wife’s
shredded clothes, droplets of blood and tiger paw prints on the ground.
The paw prints led him to the cave where he saw two tigers devouring his
already lifeless wife.
