The Batang Rejang, or Rejang River, at about 560 kilometers, is the longest river in Borneo. It’s a highway for the movement of people and goods, as well as the logs cut from the rain forests of the interior.
I flew from Kota Kinabalu, KK in local parlance, northern Borneo in the State of Sabah, Malaysia, to Sibu in Sarawak, for the sole purpose of traveling by public express boat up the Batang Rajang, the river that serves as the primary highway into the fabled rain forest of Borneo.
