A shy person by nature, Bungan does not speak Bahasa Malaysia. In fact she has hardly stepped out of her village which is located in Ulu Baram.

Some of the rare occasions she has ventured out into the 'civilised world' were to deliver her two children and to seek medical attention, when there was an urgent need to see a doctor.

These were all done in a small town called Long San, located about five hours away from her village.

The last time she visited Long San was in February last year when she went to apply for her MyKad. She was 29 then and had missed applying for it at the age of 12, like the rest of us Malaysians do.

She was given a receipt by the National Registration Department and asked to come back in six months to collect her MyKad.
