PRINCESS SANTUBONG AND PRINCESS SEJINJANG

PRINCESS SanTUBONG
AND

PRINCESS SEJINJANG



According to one version of the Princess
Santubong tale, there were once tow
princesses that were sent down from the
heavens, namely Princess Santubong and
Princess Sejinjang. They were said to be
cousins and were tasked to bring an end
to the conflict between the neighbouring
village of Pasir Putih and Pasir Kuning.

Princess Santubong was sent to govern
Kampung Pasir Kuning while Princess
Sejinjang was tasked to take charge of
Kampung Pasir Putih. As a condition, they
must never fight each other or suffer a
terrible fate if Princess Santubong and
Princess Sejinjang broke their oath. On the
top of managing the two villages, the
princesses were also tasked to watch over all
the mountains in Sarawak.

The two villages prospered under their rule
and each one had something they're known
for. Princess Santubong was highly skilled
in sewing fine cloths while thanks to
Princess Sejinjang's skills, the paddy fields
in Kampung Pasir Putih were thriving.
These attracted many visitors to the two
villages. Including Prince Serapi, a very
handsome prince from Matang.

The prince was especially drawn to the beautiful
textiles of Kampung Pasir Kuning. This made Prince
Sejinjang jealous. Prince Santubong fell in love with
the prince and so did Prince Sejinjang. So, began a

conflict between the tow princesses, sparkled by
jealousy and envy.

In the midst of all this, the villagers of Kampung PAsir
Kuning and Kampung Pasir Putih were attacking each other.

Princess Sejinjang's palace was burned to the ground by
Sang Bualang as a result. The fighting lasted until late

night.

Meanwhile, in an epic clash between the two princesses
Pricess Sejinjang landed a heavy blow on Pricess

Santubong's face, dislocating her jaw. Princess Santubong
attacked her with a spear.

Angered by the princesses who broke their oath, the King of
the heavens cursed them, turning Princess Santubong into
Mount Santubong and Princess Sejinjang into Kera Island.
Prince Serapi was also cursed and turned into Mount Serapi

far from the two princesses.
