The First Orang Sungai Exhibition Gallery
Panglima Nayad Gallery
Discover the Orang Sungai Culture of Sukau
A Personal Mission by Mr. Jamaluddin Lias
Journey into the soul of a place
At Sukau Greenview Lodge, we believe that travel should be more than just sightseeing, it should be a journey into the soul of a place. Nestled within the grounds of our eco-lodge in the heart of Borneo, the Panglima Nayad Gallery is the first-ever Orang Sungai Exhibition Gallery. This one of a kind cultural center is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich heritage, stories, and traditions of the Orang Sungai people, the "People of the River."
The gallery is the heartfelt vision of our founder, Mr. Jamaluddin Lias
Mr. Jamaluddin Lias, who was born and raised right here in Sukau. As a proud member of the Orang Sungai community, Mr. Jamaluddin felt a deep responsibility to preserve his people's legacy and educate visitors about their way of life.
His commitment to cultural preservation inspired the creation of this unique space, where guests can immerse themselves in the traditions, craftsmanship, and daily lives of the Orang Sungai.
