Looks idyllic, doesn't it? These are the "Bajau L Looks idyllic, doesn't it? These are the "Bajau Laut" (sea gypsies), stateless people originating from the Philippines who live here. Fortunately the Malaysian government has allowed them to settle under the condition they remain self-sufficient, which means no recognised status, no access to education nor healthcare or legal advice. A local Malaysian family have set up a seaweed plant close by, exporting this delicacy to China (we tried it and it's rather good, a bit like caviar). We were happy to learn that some of the sea gypsies work there. That aside, all houses are built by hand using scraps of wood salvaged from the water. They fish for food. A few of us went round distributing clothing, medicine and snacks. We cried. • • • #sailing #sailboat #seagypsies #OysterAdventures #SailingWorld #bajaulaut #sailingaroundtheworld #sailingadventure #sailingpassion #oyster435 #sailingandcruising #goseetheworld #gosailing #discovermalaysiabysea #sailmalaysiarally #malaysia #Sabah #bohaydulang
