Dungun Also At Kg Darau

When you say Dungun people always associate it with a town in Terengganu, but Kg Darau also has a place called Dungun and it is the place where the old mosque used to be located. The mosque was no more there to make way for the widening of the Darau River. Could there have been some connection between Darau and Terengganu? Perhaps, could the Arab community that came to Darau had stayed or stopped by in Terengganu? You must remember that Terengganu had a history of its own in Batu Bersurat or the Stone of Arabic Writing. As we search deeper the mystery deepens about Kg Darau and the Bajau Darau community.

Gusni Sahat said,In Brunei history,Bendahara Sakam are son of Sultan Abdul Kahar whom married to a Bajau princess.In Bone kingdom,one of their princess married to a bajau warrior.The Bajau also did help Shariff Kobungsuan on his journey to Mindanao.In Johor,when i read "sejarah negeri Johor",suprisingly,in their salasilah stated "Raja Bajau".Who are the Bajau?Mistisfiles said the Malays are from the third wife of Abraham,Siti Keturrah.From her,are the decendents of various sub-etnic of Malays,including the Bajau-Sama.Intresting isnt it?
