You are so smart that you didn't join the tour group, the price really makes a difference! It turns out that the boatman is also a Filipino, what an unexpected turn of events, and even more unexpected is that he actually brought you home! For a few seconds I thought it wasn't you who went there to visit, but to be visited by the locals, haha! Thanks for taking us to visit that cool sea village, great job! 👍😃🙌
Sarcasms is the ugliest character of a person 🤣🤣🤣 you just only shows that you feel lost in this issue. Someday, the Armed Forces of the Philippines will greet you "good morning" so you better learn your English well my friend. 🤣🤣🤣
Ken, to clarify, these are Badjao people, a seafaring nomadic group originating from the Philippines. Historically, Badjao traveled and traded between islands regardless of national boundaries. Many have now settled in permanent settlements. So while they are Filipino by heritage, they have lived in Malaysia for generations. Badjao settlements are spread across the Southern Philippines and Malaysia.

Happy belated birthday, Ken! I just love this video. It's so heartwarming to see off the beaten path experiences like this, engaging with the locals. I also rather go to non-tourist areas and really get a true feeling of the local culture. This is what travel is all about! ❤️
Shukran sir for sharing ur blogs in that place,,, watching from Abudhabi and I'm sad for my fellow Filipinos living there, how bad is it when there's a typhoon???
My heart broke when he said that he is a filipino, I felt that there is a part of me that somewhat completes my whole as a filipino but was neglected for so long... I hope that the philippine government will take actions on this and complete not only my wholeness but the wholeness of all the filipinos living in sabah. 😔😢🙏🙏🙏☺️
Just a little background and context: 1. Ethnically they are known as Bajau Laut. They are two types of Bajau. One is known as Bajau Darat which means Land Bajau. Many Land Bajau lives in town like Kota Belud in Sabah. Another type is Bajau Laut or Sea Bajau. The kampung you have visited is populated by Bajau Laut. 2. You can find ethnic Bajau not only in Malaysia but also in neighbouring countries like Indonesia, Brunei and Phillipines. 3. I believe most of them in the island that you have visited already received Malaysian identity card or I/C which makes them Malaysian citizen. 4. Before borders were marked by modern nation-states, Bajau Laut have been living scatteredly for hundreds of years around the islands in the vast Sulu Seas which are currently shared by modern states of Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines. 5. Many of them are previously refugees from Southern Philippines islands who are escaping the separatist war waged by separatist groups like MNLF, MILF, Abu Sayyaf and other separatist groups in Southern Philippines during the intense battle with Philippines Armed Forces in the 1970s. 6. The war in Southern Philippines creates a lot of suffering and displacement among the Bajau Laut in the Philippines territory and hundreds of thousands of them find solace in Sabah Malaysia. 7. Later on in the 1980s, there's a very controversial operation named "Project I/C" where Malaysian government during that time granted citizenship to those refugees through the conferment of I/C (Malaysian Identity Card). 8. This controversial "Project I/C" until now become one of the most sore point in Sabah politics and affect the ethnic relationship between Sabahan Muslim natives and Sabahan non-Muslim natives because before that Sabah like Sarawak is a non-Muslim majority state but after "Project I/C" it changes the demography of Sabah where the Muslim now becomes the majority in Sabah. That's a little bit of background and context. Sabah is a very complex state in Malaysia. And currently there are between 500,000 to one million people who are considered as stateless i.e. without any citizenship in Sabah. Neither Malaysia nor Philippines accept them as their citizens. A very complex and delicate situation.
Yeah basically that's what happened. Malaysia has to carry the problems created by the Philippines when they failed to manage the separatist movement in their own territory.
Remember the Kampung Tanduo uprising in 2013... it's also those Project IC beneficiaries who were granted citizenship in Malaysia that rose and rebel against the Malaysian government trying to stake claim on Sabah. Total of 235 of traitors. Some six or eight Malaysian policemen died tragically where their bodies were found to have been sadistically tortured. The Phillipines had to beg Malaysia to continue uphold the rights of those Malaysian citizens of Filipino descent after this terrorist act. So the point is, statelessness in Sabah will continue because of the acts of those few Malaysians of Filipinos descent who wage war against Malaysia and and her people.
I'm a Filipino and I am respecting the request of the channel owner not to dwell on the politics. My comment is that even though they are Filipinos, it's weird not being able to catch a single Filipino word. Not one word and even the way they speak English has a heavy accent that I cannot place. Do not politicize my comment please. Thank you.
The Bajau tribes were seafarers and wanderers in ancient times. Some of their ancestors settled down in Sabah (known as North Borneo in the past), some in Southern Philippines and some also in Indonesia. The Bajaus are spread throughout these 3 SEA countries.

@@kimsohye4801 I don't understand "pilipin aka pilak aa" in your comment. But I have a guess you are telling that Filipino in sabah ask for money and spit on you if you don't give? If so, that is basically how "Badjao" a native tribe in the Philippines, act when you don't give to them. Even Filipinos living in any cities here in the Philippines experience the same thing from those tribe. I think that is their cultural behavior. And for modern people like us, that is unhygienic and illmannered. I also heard that not all Badjao in Sabah act like that. Specially those who are exposed or grown up to modern society.
Filipinos are always very hospitable..And Yes they are Filipinos and they live in Sabah. Northern Sabah is owned by Sulu Sultanate. Proven and Justified! The Badjao / Bajau tribe is an indigenous population whose culture and livelihood are tied to the sea. Also widely known as the “Sea Gypsies” of the Sulu and Celebes Seas, the Badjao are scattered along the coastal areas of Tawi Tawi, Sulu, Basilan, and some coastal areas of Zamboanga City.
@@ririimorales8897 i love how the sabah people literally have no say in this dispute. But hey, what do i know, im just some dude that still believe in democracy. Maybe the Sabahan want to be apart of some dictatorship that only care about sabah's natural resources rather than the people.
@@mofb8331 as long as the issue is a live we will fight this to the very end. hoping fo all filipinos and waiting for the president of the Philippines to speak up and if Sabahan dont want to be part of you can migrate outside the sabah without argument with us. thank you and Godbless us all
Wow, his house is unexpectedly comfortable and beautiful. That was unexpected. He was very generous in showing you is house. Und his English is pretty good.
It's because he studied in the Philippines and only migrated to Sabah in 1998, that's why he knows how to speak English. Philippine education gives one a good foundation in speaking English, and English is one of the official languages of the Philippines.
Get over it, Dude. When Ken goes to the Phillipines soon, then you can crow about how wunderbar and schon the Phillipines is. In the meantime, we should just revel in the hospitality of Malaysians and his praises of all things Malaysian.
Ken,i JUST discovered your channel while researching Lankawi Malaysia. Then jumped to your entry into Shanghai China. Your openess to every little experience (which would cause most westerners to have a panic attack!) Is SO refreshing! so I'm starting from your oldest to newest videos to follow along in your journey around SE Asia. This is a dream trip for me. Your stumbling about with a willingness to just go with the flow is commendable. I appreciate your videos SO much more than the constant regurgitation of other "top 10" places in xyz. Even as an older female, your innocent, spur of the moment "live" travels encourage me more than ever to make the leap into solo travel. Keep up the GREAT work. Looking forward to viewing your last couple of years to catch up to your present moment. ❤❤❤
Careful next time when island hopping in Sabah and it’s Isles, some cases of Moros pirate kidnapping tourists and foreigners have been known to occur. It’s not really likely to happen in KK but if you visit some smaller towns in Sabah which are nearby to even more “adventurous or exotic” islands, it’s a very real possibility if you’re going solo without a travel company, especially now with renewed tension between Sabah and Philippines’ claim. If you’re wondering about why the Filipino Moros/sea tribes have ICs in Sabah, it’s a pretty interesting but very sensitive issue. The short story is, the long ruling party in Malaysia and specifically in Sabah, BN & UMNO, issued identity cards to them to secure more votes in order to stay in power in the state, without really making any efforts to naturalise or develop their communities. Allegedly various other parties copied the same strategy and these parties have been doing so for decades, causing an influx of newly “naturalised” illegal migrants numbering in up to a million (maybe more). Personally, I found it a really reckless and heinous political act, as it’s a lose-lose. The migrants don’t get naturalised and developed properly or systematically thus causing them to be subjected to ghettoisation and remain poor. Meanwhile, native Sabahans start to develop a xenophobic view and see them as a burden or nuisance that they have to economically support. (A lot of eerie parallels to what’s happening in West Europe these past few years, I know). The rabbit hole goes much deeper and I really recommend reading into it more further. You can start with the Wikipedia article for “Project IC”. Some publications claim the move was to increase the ratio of Muslims in Sabah, others theorise that it was to destabilise and distract the demographic of Sabah so that more revenues from the oil-rich state can be funnelled into Peninsular Malaysia and some Sabahan politician‘s pockets without using the money to develop Sabah. I hope this issue gets resolved eventually. And I hope this doesn’t discourage you from ever visiting Sabah again. It’s a wonderful state, diverse in every way, it’s population, flora and fauna, all truly diverse. I still feel like from your Sabah vids, you’ve only seen about less than 10-15% of what Sabah has to offer. It’s a great place but yeah this issue has been the biggest blemish of the state.
these people have been there before Malaysia. Even the name Malaysia is a Philippine idea when it was being debated to change the name of the Philippines, Malaysia was established and appropriated the name.
@@luburan1973yeah....😅😓there's still a lot of rebellions and terrorist in Mindanao , the antonymous Bangsamoro region is improving, but... There has been a lot of difficulties cause by both the earthquakes and terrorist recently 😓
@@Saibre568 yes financed by OIC and Malaysia. These so called terrorist training bases are in Sabah and do their missions in the Philippines, check your history.
Spot on. Thats a Political game or tactic used… that made the majority of the Sabahans to agreed to be part of Malaysia and I think also becoz they are pressured on the ongoing war and dispute b/ween Sulu Muslim tribe/group and Malaysia gov. way back on the news so Sabah people just ceded in order not to be trapped in the middle of that dispute… But somehow as we can see Sabah under Malaysia still looks poverty stricken and no improvements at all
Interesting!!!! Filipinos are hospitable wherever they are. That's a common trait among us, Filipinos. I enjoyed your vlog, dudz. Now, I subscribed!!!! God bless us all!!!
Greetings Ken...this is a phenomenal experience touring on sea taxi & getting the chance to know about the locals daily routine lifestyle. I guess as a Malaysian myself would not have such chance but only by the books or TV documentaries. Stay safe & healthy always. Looking forward to your next episode.
I love Sabah. Older people there can speak Tagalog fluently. There are lots of of Filipinos living in Sabah and still a proud Pinoy .. I remember I encounter one lady and ask me if I am a Filipino and I said yes, then she turned to be emotional, and told me that her parents we're Filipinos and I can see that she is confused about her identity as a second generation living in Sabah... She's so happy to meet me at that time, as if I am her long lost brother..
Ken they're Filipino who maybe stayed or growned up in Sabah. He said he speak Badiao and that is one of many Filipino tribes of southern Philippines. North Sabah owned by the Sultan of Sulu of Philippines until late 1800 when it was leased to a British company and in 1963 country of Malaysia was created and that the British company who leased Sabah from the Sultan of Sulu simply passed it on to Malaysia. Malaysian government treat them as undocumented aliens but they are the descendants of the Sultan of Sulu. The Badjiaos tribe were the water people the Philippines who lived in their boats full time in the past. At present most of them live in a stilt homes like what you see in Sabah.
It's in our Philippines history the Bajaos. Maybe they are the descendants now who fought with Brunei rebellions coz we know in our history subject they are warriors. Good foe Brunei coz they had good warriors who fought for them a long long time ago for their country Brunei today
Bajau is also one of the tribe in Sabah, in ASEAN everyone share many culture. Even in Thailand there is Malay tribe, Indonesia there is Bajau and malay tribe. First time?
They speak our language Sabahan suluks/bajau and also they converse well in sabah language and Bahasa Malaysia when they speaking in the background. This people do not speak filipino nor tagalog. They identify themselves as to be a descendents of their ancestor which is the bajau or suluks, but they admit that they are also Malaysian by holding a Malaysian IC card and Passport. This was one of the many towns where the Cobbold Mission was conducted which the majority voted for the formation of Malaysia.
Maksugul (thank you) Ken. That was interesting & nice to see around the water village. The boat driver was very nice to take you to his home. I'm Sabahan, even though we are Malay/Chinese, my beloved mom could speak their language. I only know a few words.
@@toyou5470 Sabahan people that don't want to be a citizen of the Philippines, is free to leave Sabah. We don't care about the Sabahan people not joining to the Philippines. We just want the land back to it's rightful owner which is the Sultunate of Sulu(Philippines).
Badjao is also Filipino and one of 175 spoken dialects of the Philippine. In NCR or Manila we speak Tagalog in Visaya they speaks Cebuano ,Hiligaynon etc. North Borneo Sabah is part of the Philippines and Philippines is older than Malaysia!
Sabah belong to natives sabahan including sabahan Bajau..this filipino bajaus are immigrant running away from their original home in sulu because of the Bangsamoro conflict with the Philippines gov...Sabah belong to sabahan only..this people belong to tawi2 and other island under the Philippines..Sabah or north Borneo exist as a state since 1881..in 1963 we decide to join the Malaysia agreement to creat a new country call federation of Malaysia together with other former British protectorate and colony in south east Asia which is malaya, Singapore ,Sarawak and us north Borneo or sabah.
The Bajaus who admit they are filipinos is an illegal immigrants in Sabah. They are the victims of the philippines and bangsamoro conflicts. They run here because MALAYSIA give them shelters BECAUSE they are also our tribes and family regardless your nationality. But philippines is using this as their advantage to claim Sabah. Its only a matter of time until Malaysia truly show the true colours of the filipinos, sad and pathetic.
The Kadazan Dusun is the majority ethnic and have been in North Borneo since the beginning of the island. Sabah choose to be in Malaysia and no one force them.
Awesome, another awesome video, Ken. Indeed a unique and amazing experience, visiting a Filipinos water village on one of Sabah islands. Really top quality content :- the cool boat ride, interesting interaction with the friendly local people and environment. Great that you found that boat taxi driver to show you around that village. Wow, there's even a school there. Enjoyed watching the video and many thanks for taking us along. Bravo Ken !!
Sultan Sulu gave Sabah to British in 1878. Furthermore, Sultanate Sulu was abolished and it’s not recognised as an political entity since 1898 and hence does not have any status. Sabah is ours and will still remain ours. Keep on dreaming 😂
@@haziqkamaruddin1631 Just an information for your guidance and wrong stance on this matter. No, Sultanate of Sulu is not a seperate country.

Watching this video makes me proud as a Filipino. Even our Badjao brothers living as a squatter in Sabah which was a territory owned by the Sultanate of Sulu have shown the hospitality that a common Filipinos possess. But with the recent ruling on who owned Sabah is now finally sided with the Sulu Sultanate, I just hope that our Badjao and Tausug brothers would eventually enjoy what was theirs.
just because some race live in one part of a land or waters does not give you the right to claim the whole of sabah...sabah is a democratic land..the majority will decide who will lead them and certainly not sulu..

They are Malaysian not Philiphinos, the locals often called the Suluk or Irranun ethnics as Pelipin because they started to migrate in the northern part of Borneo (Sabah) during the Spain colonization. King Philip (Felipe) of Spain renamed those islands he colonized as Philiphine to reminds people that those place is his territory, and the native of Sabah call the immigrants Pelipin because that's where the country they are from are called then and now. The migration still continues today for different reasons. However those people on the water villages have become Malaysian and I personally think people should stop calling them pelipin, since they are NOT, they are MALAYASIAN. Anyway, historically Sabah was never part of Sulu Sultanate but under the rule of Brunei. During the reign of the fifth Sultan Brunei Sultan Bolkiah, Brunei territory was not only in the whole area of Borneo island but also to the Palawan, Keramian, Saludang (Luzon), etc.. the areas that is now known as Philiphine today. When Spain came and wage war with Brunei, it lost many of its territories. Then the Sultan of Magindanao pledged loyalty to Spain causing some nobles of Magindanao to break away and pledged their alliance to the Sulu Sultan of the time instead. There were wars so some Irranun people migrated from Magindanao to Northern Brunei (Sabah). However the Sulu Sultan died and leave no heir causing internal problem, a noble claimed the throne of Sulu Sultanate but the Brunei who were the suzerein didn't acknowledge him. Remember, Sulu Sultanate was under Brunei and were related through marriage, that's how Sulu Sultanate was founded. So Brunei are not going to let just anybody claim the throne without the blessing of Brunei Royal House. The British came and there were the three years war with Spain, found a guy in prison in Manila, Fernando de Alimuddin who turns out to be the cousin of Sultan Bantilan. British agreed to release him from prison and install him as the Sulu Sultan in exchange for territories that he didn't have, some islands and parts of northern Brunei. This is when the rift and argument between Sulu and Brunei became serious and Sulu separate itself from Brunei. Cut story short, after many wars between the Brunei nobles and royalties with British, Brunei lost most of it's territories in Sarawak and Sabah to British Empire. British then sign a treaty with Spain to reach an agreement to divide territories and Spain (and Sulu who ceded their rights to Spain) agreed to have no claim over Sarawak and North Borneo (Sabah). Later the people of Sabah and Sarawak, that is the natives and the people who migrated fought for independence and under the international Cobbold Commission voted to join the formation of a new country call Malaysia. I don't think any historical claims predates the independence should have a say over the self determination of the people. I wish people especially younger generation should learn the history of the region to avoid tension and become a tool for political agenda of greedy politicians. Don't forget during the Lahad Datu invasion where many of our Bornean brothers were killed, the Sulu ethnics of Sabah went to see the King of Malaysia Yang diPertuan Agong and pledge their loyatly to the King and Malaysia.
Malaysia was created as independent nation in the 1960s. Sabah was given by the Sultan of Brunei to the Sultanate of Sulu prior to the 1878 lease agreement. Between the British private company. Malaysia has only rented Sabah until now. Give back the Sabah to the people of Sulu.
@@ahasuerusx861 Give what back? we are the native of Sabah why would we give back something that was never belonged to Sulu? Where is the proof that Brunei gave Sabah tu Sulu? None. Philiphine was once part of Brunei colonized by Spain. Should Brunei claimed back using historical events? Would you give Philiphine back to Brunei? What about your independence? Should we ignore it? Oh btw didnt Philiphine have a quarrel with China because one of the island used to belong to China historically and China wants it back? And as you mentioned, our country is created after gaining independence, meaning we have no desire to be part of Brunei nor Sulu. A defunct kingdom that have no support of the people is not a kingdom. We will do the referendum again if we have to. I wonder why would someone who are not native of our land, not even residence wants to take away our homeland from us. Didn't you learn anything from history? Doesn't independence mean anything to you?
@@riceispower8405 That's just modern piracy, using the blunder of our stupid corrupt politician and with the help of foreign nation to give the verdict without letting Malaysia to present our case, bias and unfair. Not the real International Justice Court. Again as I said, we will fight for our sovereignity, we didnt fight for independence just to be bullied again.
@@riceispower8405 There is no reason to entertain the court of France, it's not even the International Court of Justice. Besides, if the international world decides to entertain this claim on Sabah that predates the independence, it will set precedent to other countries to do the same. Countries will now can choose to ignore the sovereignity of other independent nation. By the way, China have historical claims over some part of Philiphines, just saying.
Hi Ken! In Bajau language or Sinama, thank you is "magsukul". Many languages and native ethnic groups exist in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia, countries in Southeast Asia aren't culturally homogenous like in Germany in which the only main native ethnic group is German (although its multicultural, those groups like Filipino Germans or Turkish Germans originated from migrant communities who settled there, or from minorities in border areas) :) There are very many different ethnic groups and they all have the citizenry of Filipno, Indonesian, Malaysian, Thai etc :) Usually the language of the economically dominant group becomes the 'official language', but everyone speaks their own languages and has their own cultures. Bajau people in Sabah speak Bajau language (also called Sinama or Samal), Bahasa Sug (Tausug language), and Malay :) They rarely speak English. In the Philippines, the Bajau/Sama speak their native Bajau/Sinama, Bisaya, Bahasa Sug, Malay, Tagalog ('Filipino') and some English. In Indonesia, the Bajau speak their native Bajau, Indonesian/Malay and the other local languages from other tribes in Indonesia.
Mat Salleh here refers to the name of a local Sabahan warrior not the slang nickname for caucasian people. That’s why his name is conferred to that building.
Yup. The Mat Salleh name for white foreigners were originally came from West Malaysia. Until now I still don't know how does the idea calling them Mat Salleh came out. 🤣
@@gabrielfrancisco6687 Good luck in trying to take Sabah from Malaysia. FYI no true Sabahan wants to be identified as Pinoy. They want to be Malaysian.
I don't want to argue with you. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be Filipino. But remember, the land that you staying is owned by Sultunate of Sulu which is Filipino.
Mat Salleh is deemed one of Sabah's hero because he was involved in fighting the intruder long time ago, (though the local know the true story of him)😁...one of the school's building is named bilik Mat Salleh to commemorate him...in minute 22.57 the GUIDE refer Mat Salleh as the Mat Saleh@orang puteh🤣🤣🤣 ntah macam mana dia boleh dapat ic ni kikih
Hello Ken! with regards to your question about the connection of Sabah and Filipinos actually it's owned by Filipino sultanate of Mindanao which was an ancestral domain of sultanate of sulu and was only rented to Malaysia and just recently had some issues with the rent from Malaysia so an international Court in France had a recent arbitration and the sultanate of sulu won and had Malaysia asked to pay for billions of dollars for the rental arrears 🤗
Yes of course Sabah is part of the Philippines.Where is our troops though? to drive those Malaysian away from our Sabah.Our Military must be jêrking off while eating PagPag.
so funny isnt?.. where were your sultanate sulu or even you filipino yourselves when sabah joined malaysia?.. that time he should go fight claiming for sabah..plus, all sabahan people had spoken to join malaysia.. even your sultan not recognized by sabahan people not even you yourselves.. hes not even from sabah.. how can he claim he own sabah..the whole sabahan people did not recognised him too..
@@mran9089 lemme double this, i am from brunei and from my observations in sabah, the people here are more closer culturally to brunei than the philippines, i even encountered a chap who spoke bruneian malay but actually is from the town of sipitang and the malays here understand bruneian malay just fine. yet virtually all bruneians dont claim sabah as theirs eventho with the logic of these filipino nationalists, our claim would be actually stronger than theirs, love from brunei btw to sabah, sabah belongs to sabahans and im sure people just want more development and care from putrajaya, not filipino rule
@@JustAlice_Mai your maybe observing because many Filipinos here are Christians but if we you go to my island in Mindanao in the region called ARMM Autunomous Region of Muslim of Mindanao they have traditions similar to Malaysia and Indonesia. You haven’t met all Filipinos 🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️
@@mran9089 The Sultanate of Sulu and his descendants are the rightful owner of Sabah because of their possession of legal documents and Legal Ownership given to them as a Reward for their help in the Civil War in Brunei way back. So any international court will come to the same decision because malaysia is merely renting Sabah and that is the truth. The people are just living without knowing their landlord. Malaysia stopped paying rent and they should pay. You should read more about the legality and history so that the truth will give you peace.
@@nafisrozu6869 sad to say that Malaysia is just renting (Pajakkan) to heirs of Sultanate of Sulu that base in Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 and they have a lots of receipts or documents for the legitimacy of that property or territory
@@karlangelosalazar3415 Fyi: 1) the Philippines government has never recognised Sultanate Sulu as part of political entity since 1898 and does not have a status quo unlike the kings in Malaysia and the king of Brunei. 2) NOT all of Sabah was given by Sultanate Sulu, only the eastern coastal part of Sabah was given by Sultan Brunei to Sultan Sulu until the colonisation of Britain happened in Malaysia 3) In fact, in 1967, Malaysia and Philippines have signed Anti-Smuggling Cooperation Agreement whereby our former Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak and your former secretary of foreign affairs, Narciso Ramos agreed that Sabah is part of Malaysia. So Philippines claim over Sabah is invalid.
Actually Ken, if you go the Filipino market area, there are cheaper boats that constantly ferry the inhabitants of the Gaya island back and forth to the city. I think its around RM5 per person to Gaya Island.... also, do tell us where are you heading next so that we (the Sabahans) can give you some tips for your travel in Sabah (perhaps saves some money too).
The 5 ringit boat fare wouldn't have included a free snack, a soda, or tours of the boatman's home and his uncles house and village. 100 ringit was an incredible value imo.
Ken your vlog is great!badjao folks(sea gypsies)are from the Southern Philippines.The few tip islands coming from Basilan,Sulu,Tawi-tawi.Sabah is Philippines. You've met one of the indigenous people from the Philippines there.They are Filipinos,not Malaysians.They are good people.They live a modest life in Sabah.Keep it up Ken.You have my respect.Great day there!
these pilipin aka pilak aa pinoy ask for money on the street in sabah if you dont give what they want you will get spit on. also they will try scamming you steal you belongings they always bring pocket knife . very friendly =D
The kind boat man is Filipino and Sabah belongs to the Philippines. Malaysia lost. Her lying and cheating was exposed. Clearly,Sabah is Owned by the Philippines.
