ANTANOM


Shalom,,my title blog today is about Antanom.  Antanum or Antanom is a warrior of Sabah and it full name Ontoros Antonom.  It was born on 1885 and he died on 1915.  Antanom was a famous and influential Murut warrior from North Borneo (now Sabah), Malaysia who according to local oral history claimed to have supernatural powers. Because of this he was able to receive support from the chiefs and villagers from around the villages of Keningau, Tenom, Pensiangan and Rundum and led the Rundum uprising against the British North Borneo Company but was killed during fighting with the company army in Sungai Selangit near Pensiangan.  Most of Tenom peoples believe that Tenom named came from Antanom named. Only this I know about Antanom and I hope all of you understand about this history. Bye,,,
