Interesting coastal village(kampungs) in the Santubong Peninsula.Buntal a Malay fishing village just off the Kuching-Santubong road,is famous for the seafood restaurants .Most of the seafood restaurants belong to Ah Kau,Along or Ah kong and my advise to Muslim friend please look for seafood stall belong to Ahmad,Ali,Bujang senang and Mak minah.
Our PAS members here can help you to look for Halal seafood restaurants in this village.





















The junction to Kampung Buntal and Santubong off Jalan Sultan Tengah.
Ever wonder where the Jalan Sultan Tengah come from? According to the legends of Sarawak by Chang Pat Foh(1999),when Sultan of Brunei took over control of Sarawak,Sarawak Malay had already established their settlements in Santubong where Datu Merpati Jepang was the leader.Based on the history of Brunei there was a strong indication that Santubong was the first capital of Sarawak in the late 16th century when Sultan Tengah Ibnu Sultan Muhamad Hassan,the secong son of the third Sultan of Brunei,become the first and last Sultan of Sarawak.In 1641.Sultan Pengiran passed away at Buaya and was buried at Santubong.To-day,this mausoleum is located at the junction of Jalan Sultan Tengah and Jalan Santubong.It was restored and declared as a historical monument n Sarawak.
Happy holiday ....................................................
