There are several myths about Tasik Chini. 5 l( ?9 c- F) ~os.tvboxnow.comOne of these goes like this: ! W/ v$ o: M6 k7 u0 L+ u8 I & \+ H/ W& L9 n: A7 c公仔箱論壇One day whilst they were out cultivating land, an old woman appeared. She proclaimed that the piece of land was hers and that the men were trespassing. In claiming her rights to the land, the old woman planted her walking stick into the ground and warned the men never to remove it. Humbly, they apologised and the woman allowed them to continue their work there. Some time later, the dogs started to bark furiously at a decaying log not far away from the area.

One of the men went off to investigate the commotion. He hurled his stick at the log and to his surprise, the log started to bleed. os.tvboxnow.com) v1 M0 [! A4 E$ f& W
He called to his fellowmen and they too hurled their sticks at the log. The startled men stood rooted to the ground as bright red blood gushed out from the log. Shadows fell on them as they watched. 公仔箱論壇  v2 x/ x+ E% U
The sky above darkened. Bolts of lightning stabbed the earth; thunders deafened the sounds of terrified screams of the men as they fled the area. In their confusion, one of the men knocked over the old woman's walking stick. In doing so a fountain of water shot high into the sky and quickly filled the area. The water gushed for many years, forming the lakes that we see now which has become the home of the mystical dragon called Naga Seri Gumum, the spirit of the log.公仔箱論壇; X5 X3 h/ U& A0 w$ k2 p+ H0 f$ y
