while passing the road near kinabalu national park, one is bound to come across a big signboard pointing towards ‘bundu tuhan’.
with a population of 3,000 families, and reputedly the biggest village around ranau, bundu tuhan is a collection of wooden village houses surrounded by small agricultural plots sitting on beautiful, misty mountain slopes facing the majestic mount kinabalu. originally pagans, the people is now 99% catholic, with one or two protestants (borneo evangelical church) and muslim families. there are surprisingly no resident chinese trader in the village, and when i asked what could be the reason to one lady there she laughed and said “they can’t stand the cold, i think”. perhaps she wasn’t aware, but i have a feeling that some of the farms there are owned by chinese (mainly sarawakians), and worked on by indonesian immigrants.
