Jong Batu

Jong Batu is a rock outcrop located in the Brunei River.[1] It is shaped such that when viewed from the shores of the Brunei River, it resembles a sinking ship, with the bow sticking out of the water.[2][3] In Brunei folklore, the legend of Nakhoda Manis (literally the "Captain Sweet" in Malay) tells of how an unfilial son was turned to the rock outcropping known as Jong Batu.[1]
