Sarawak

Iban
Iban is the largest of Sarawak's ethnic groups with over 30% of the state's population. In
the past, they were a fearsome warrior race known for headhunting and piracy. Sometimes
wrongly called Sea Dayaks for their boating skills, they live in the heart of Kalimantan.
Bidayuh
The Bidayuh are peace loving and easy going but ironically have a history of headhunting.
Their roundhouses are mainly located in Sarawak's mountainous regions.
Orang Ulu
Orang Ulu are the upriver tribes of Sarawak. Artistically inclined, their longhouses are
ornately decorated with woodcarvings and murals. Their utensils are embellished with
intricate beadwork; and aristocratic ladies cover their body with finely detailed tattoos.

Kadazan Dusun
The largest ethnic group of Sabah, the
Kadazan Dusuns form about 30% of
the state's population. Actually
consisting of two tribes; the Kadazan
and the Dusun, they were grouped
together as they both share the same
language and culture. However, the
Kadazan are mainly inhabitants of flat
valley deltas, which are conducive to
paddy field farming, while the Dusun
traditionally lived in the hilly and
mountainous regions of interior
Sabah.
Bajau
The second largest ethnic group in Sabah, the Bajaus make up about 15% of the state's
population. Historically, a nomadic sea-faring people that worshipped the Omboh Dilaut of
God of the Sea, they are sometimes referred to as the Sea Gypsies. Those who chose to
leave their sea-faring ways become farmers and cattle breeders. These land Bajaus are
nicknamed 'Cowboys of the East' in tribute to their impressive equestrian skills, which are
publicly displayed in the annual Tamu Besar festival at Kota Belud.
Murut
Murut means Men of the Hills and they are the third largest ethnic group in Sabah, making
up about 3% of the state's population. Traditionally inhabiting the northern inland regions of
Borneo, they were the last of Sabah's ethnic groups to renounce headhunting. Now, they
are mostly shifting cultivators of hill paddy and tapioca, supplementing their diet with
blowpipe hunting and fishing. Like most indigenous tribes in Sabah, their traditional clothing
is decorated with distinctive beadwork. Kaansayan Minatong means welcome in Murut
language.

Orang Asli
Orang Asli means Original People. These indigenous ethnic groups are found in both East
and West Malaysia.

West Malaysia
In West Malaysia, they are
divided into three main tribal
groups Semang(Negrito)
from the North, Senoi in the
middle and Proto Malay in
the south. The Semang from
the North, which consist of
Kensiu, Kintak, Lanoh, Jahai,
Mandriq, and Batiq. The

and Che Wong and the Proto
Malay in the south consist of
Temuan, Semelai, Temoq,
Jakun, Kanaq, Kuala, and

Temiar- Temer
The Temers might be called
the dream people. As soon
as they wake they tell one
another their dreams, and in
whatever action they dowhether hunting, fishing or
planting tapioca-they allow
themselves to be guided by
spirits talking to them in their
sleep. By speaking out their
dreams, their guilt feelings of the previous day are brought to the surface as in confession,
and dissipate in the morning mists and sun.
Temers never argue. By the time they become adults, Temiars have learnt to feel anxious
that their actions might cause someone else harm. If they are embarrassed by a questioner,
they avoid conflict by quietly leaving. Their code of behaviour is strict: Never talk to your
mother-in-law; never shoot poison darts at humans; and dont laugh at butterflies!
