It is a parang from Borneo.
The description by Ian is correct. Village made. |

For me it's golok from Sunda or south Sumatra. I have the same but entirely covered with a foil of repoussé silver.

The scabbard mouth is typical for Sunda, special by golok scabbards!
 South Sumatra was strong influenced from Sunda.Compare with old threads.

The scabbard, in particular the horn bands, look an awful lot like the construction on this golok from Sunda that was in Lew's estate, and that now lives with me.
