Abstract
Mount Singai has been settled by the BiSingai Bidayuhs for more 300 years ago after they moved from neighbouring Mount Sungkung in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Practicing pagan religion and lived in eight villages half way up the mountain and farmed the mountain sides and surrounding foothills. More than 40 years ago, this mountain has been abandoned. The community left this place and moved downhill and form 12 villages as we can see today. The only grim reminder of the Bisingai's glorious past there is the Catholic Memorial and Pilgrimage Centre (CMPC) built by Roman Catholic Community beginning in early 1980s at the old village site. Every weekend, hundreds of people ascend Mount Singai with most stopped at CMPC while some others continue to the summit.
