Singingi

Singingi lies in the river country of central Sumatra, between the Kuantan and Kampar Kiri basins. The Singingi River crosses a landscape of forest and low hills, where Malay communities maintain local customs and oral traditions. The country was connected with the sphere of Gunung Sahilan, whose rulers and customary chiefs claimed authority over parts of the Kampar Kiri and Singingi waterways. Rivers gave this inland region routes towards both the mountains and the eastern lowlands.
