A long time ago, there was a trader who travelled around Mukah and the surrounding areas with his men and his big ship. According to a local legend, he had a magical stone, and it was believed that it could make him disappear. He was able to do many good deeds. One day however he lost this precious stone in Oya.
There was also a story that he eventually made his way to Labuan.
The people of Oya believed that he helped their ancestors to prosper . One of the good deeds he did for the people of Oya was helping them find fresh water during a very severe drought. Today a well in Oya is named in his honour.
The Kaul Festival ( a sea festival) held in Oya, Mukah, Dalat is to thank ancestors and the gods for bringing prosperity to the people.
