Dr Franklyn: "I have told you of the years I have spent in the East investigating their primitive religions. There was one particular religious cult that kept evading me...like the Leopard people of Africa this was a secret society and their secret jealously guarded...'Orang-Sanctu': 'The Snake People' - very few people have heard of it outside
Borneo and there they never dare speak of it".External links
