O.k..Still alive...
I've been given an assignment about Heritage tourism a few days ago and our group decided to find a legend about head hunter in our country.(..seriously headhunter?).So finally I've found some info about it. But I never thought that the legend was actually TRUE!!! Well I've heard about the tale of 'Huminodun' in our country but after my mom told me about the legend of headhunter, I'm beginning to feel excited about it went to do some research.
And the result was quite interesting. The story begin maybe around 200-300 hundreds years ago when a boy was born at the same time when the 'Bugangs' bird egg hatched.. It is believed by the 'KadazanDusun'( major ethnic in Sabah, Malaysia) that this is a good omen and a sign that this boy would have special ability. The boy named Monsopiad.
Well when he grew up, he become a warrior in the village (The village of Kuai) where he grew up and become an excellent fighter and warrior in the village... He was given an honored and really proud about it that swore he will kill the enemies of the village.
But after a few year, the urge to kill had gotten into Monsopiad’s head and simply could not stop him from beheading other people. Despite on his changed attitude, the villagers attacked him in one night and Monsopiad fought fiercely but then realize that his has lost his power that has bestowed upon him by the Bugang Bird. By abusing his power, he left powerless and it was the very night that Monsopiad life’s has ended.
After all my research about the legend of Monsopiad, I do find that the legend really are interesting....Well some of it had changed my point of view about heritage....a valuable one off course!! Oppsss...before I forget, Monsopiad actually love to cut the head of his enemy and hangs it outside his house as a symbol of victory. ( ....WOW)
