Silat

Silat was a small Malay river kingdom in the upper Kapuas basin of West Kalimantan, at present-day Silat Hilir, over which neighbouring Selimbau claimed primacy. Tradition traces its first polity, Jempulin Panjang, to the legendary Babai Becingah, and says Islam came up the Sambas river under its first Muslim ruler, Sultan Acit.
