That general area I'd say. Sumartra/Indonesia/Malaysia. I was just googling parang and coming up with some fairly close matches. |

Looks to me as a kind of bendo. Take a look at this link.

I would say Borneo / Sarawak based on the scabbard carvings.
The chopper blade is imported, probably by chinese traders. The hilt would than be an aso / dragon. I owned something similar in the past, but sold it. Will check for pictures if I have time. Best regards, Willem |

Not exactly my area but I would agree with Willem - looks like Borneo carving on the scabbard to me.
