Hunchback Rock of Labuan

The Hunchback Rock or 'Batu SiBongkok' in malay
is a rock said to resembled a hunchback man sitting in yoga position
who turned into stone after being called by his wife during meditation,
apparently it's a taboo for him to be called when he is doing his meditation.
It's situated about a km from Kampung Rancha-Rancha Laut
and can be reach during low tide.

    very interesting! though it doesn't look like a hunchback man to me, it's an interesting piece of stone, nonetheless. thanks for sharing..
