“These medicine men are rare in Borneo. In the Méhakam region, Ubung is the only medicine man. He was initiated in the lower Méhakam by "bougis", who come from the island of Celebes. He only became Orang-Sihir after a long initiation. Among the Penihing, at the baang of Nahan bohan, a man is dying. Ubung drew white dots on his body so that the Allied Gods would recognize him. Bells are attached to his ankles. He addresses his incantations to the Gods, either in Malay or in the Bahau dialect. it imposes its rhythm on the two young girls who each beat on a gong and on the two men who beat the two small drums. He will officiate all night. But the verdict will be formal: at dawn, the patient will die after his departure. It was true” (Cf. Presentation booklet of the Dayak Music collection. Borneo (Kalimantan)).
