A Parang Nubar, is what Indonesian/ Malay? What is it's influence?

Allot the curved Asian swords seem to have their influence the middle east? Didn't the Chinese Dao gain influence from India?

I remember this replica of a Mongol calvary saber:

Original indigenous name of the parang nabur is "beladah belabang".
The beladah belabang is no dayak weapon but has Malay origine, and was found in southeast Borneo, Banjarmasin area.
Because there was a lot of trade going on there, they also are found once in a while in other areas.
