- I visited a Filipino water village in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
My Kota Kinabalu first impressions video ➡️ • 28 Minutes Flight To K...
While walking around the oceanfront here in Kota Kinabalu I spotted some island nearby. I didn't really know what to expect there so I started to ask around for possible boat rides over there. Little did I know that i will end up visiting a Filipino water village on one of these islands. What a cool and unique experience here in Sabah Malaysia!

You won’t see many tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.

🔴Please be respectful in the comment section regarding the topic of Sabah - Malaysia/Philippines. I know there are some tensions at the moment, but my channel is not about politics and I don't want to get involed in any political discussion here. Thanks
🔴 My Kota Kinabalu first impressions video ➡ th-cam.com/video/Y9RZzo9k23o/w-d-xo.html
Totally agree with you Ken.
i recommend not to put malaysia in the title and thumbnail and done no more comment about politics
If you want Respect then Respect our fight regarding Sabah, as Sabah belongs to the Philippines if you only have time to actually read and watch news.
To all claimer pinoi here read this first before claim sabah is PH 👍 the real owner of sabah is sultan brunei give it to sultan sulu n that time sabah is known as sulu muslim state not PH or MALAYSIA yet, after 1963 sabah join malaya n reject PH now became malaysia, malaysia keep continue give rm5300 to sulu heirs as annual cession for disputed state (NOT RENTAL) n their have promise for sulu to not disturbe sabah..in 2013 sultan sulu army jamalul kiram III attack sabah n malaysia gov stop give rm5300 to them bec their already violate the term their promise, in 2022 sulu heirs win in french court bec of false letter use by enemy of najib razak thomy thomas to them..now my new gov already take action about thomy thomas mistake n will fight back with all prove we have n the change to win is HIGH. we will get back all 2 asset seize by sulu heirs soon n charge PH with criminal attack for what happen in 2013 😎 just wait

Finally when he say, Yes, I'm a Filipino and offered you a free drinks and let you in his house, I CRIED! Filipino heart.
Yes, Filipinos are kind❤️
what time lap?
He actually said Bajau @ 15mins
@@thomascheah4538 😁🙂
@@thomascheah4538 Bajau is a tribe.
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.
Love to see filipinos.. Filipino hospitality is one of a kind.
Illegal filipinos that was given sympathy by Malaysians to live there bcuz ur country rejected them.
But living on other national land for free what a thieve hospitality
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
@Rika Audio Horor Story here we go again Philippines try to claim sabah and make sabah become third world countries like the other state in Philippines
@@mafiq79 huh
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. 🤣🤣🤣
SO THAT'S WHY YOUR TOUR GUIDE IS SO FRIENDLY! HE'S FILIPINO!

So american friendly, ah he's Filipino? Lmao

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???
Ken, it was another beautiful vlog to watch . That village looks similar to some traditional village in Basilan Philippines.
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.
I just want to add that one guy he said he talk Badjao which is a language of a tribe on the southernmost Philippines so there.
That’s because they are from the Bajau tribe of Sabah. It’s the 2nd largest tribe in Sabah, with the majority tribe being the Kadazan-Dusuns.
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.
Duwa Cola he said
@@marikitliwayway6703 yes here in Mindanao there are many Badjao..they are indigenous ethnic group in the Philippines.....They are Filipino....
Great content! Love looking at the interconnectivity between peoples and cultures in the region. Thank you!
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. 😔😢🙏🙏🙏☺️
Tawi tawi is one of the poorest regions in philippines
Of course the go to Malaysia
It's like Mexicans going to usa
They are illegal immigrants

Thank you for visiting Sabah, Philippines.
Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao and Sabah, the four major islands of the Philippines.
@Basil Gan Malaysia rent Saba
Your government pay yearly to Sulu
@@SimpleGuylikeYou Tht not rent tht a gift for Sultan Sulu
very shameless the Filipinos
@@Zeck77 He means Malaysia rents Sabah and it is not their territory.
@Basil Gan charot. cry ka na lang koya
love all your videos mr. Ken 👍
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.
Yes! They are the product of Project IC.
sabah water is not as calm as it seems on the surface.
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.
Thanks for your kind explanation it helps me to understand Sabah a lot more!
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.
Thanks for this video.
Very nice video. Thanks for showing us the island.
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.
the generosity and hospitality is totally a Filipino kind of thing.
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
@@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.
love this island hopping 👍, thank you Ken 🙏
That village is great. I can't imagine that there's such a community like this exists. Awesome
Pilipino people is so respected especially visitors. 🙏❤️
Awesome video 🔥🔥👍❤️
Wahh thats great.... peaceful from Mindanao, Malaysia
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.
Well Ken, your question about Sabah's connections wt The Philipines are answered. There's a lot of historians in the comment sections...😁😁. I'm a proud Sabahan & TQ TQVM for your visit . May God Bless you with good health & happiness always🥰

Greetings FROM philippines... fully watch my friend..I'm happy and enjoy watching you there in Sabah Malaysia..
soon to be Sabah Philippines
@@oriclin hopefully Saba Philippines soon..
@@oriclin nothing to worries about your VLOGS sir ken abroad.
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.
Bajau exist in Sabah and Indonesia as well and fyi Sabah belong to the sabahan and part of the Malaysian federation.
@@mofb8331 yeah arrogant Malaysia that was just born recently compared to the sultanate of sulu who owns sabah.
@@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
@@mofb8331 pack your things right now. and look for a land to buy in kuala lum por. because that land is from the Philippines by the sultan kiram.
that's a smart way to travel and also probably better. helps the local more and he even gave you a private tour. wow.
Watching all the way from Sandakan Sabah..Excellent video!
Interesting!!!! Filipinos are hospitable wherever they are. That's a common trait among us, Filipinos.

Such nice, clean houses in Sabah! Wow! It´s interesting.
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..
I can't stop crying! Please make more videos of Filipinos in Sabah because we love all of them and yes, Sabah belongs to Philippines.
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. It has ceded its rights to the sovereignity of the Philippines.

@@toppy_ctp Sultan Sulu has been ceased since 1915 and hence does not have heirs and no legal coronation has been took place.

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
You are wrong my friend, there are civil war in philippine and they fled their nation and came here. They are not local.

Hi 👋 ken wow very nice experience for you going to bajau laut village 👍👍👍 hati-hati it's malay ward mean carefully or take care
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.

Hi Ken 👋🏻 very interesting visits to those two islands never met a Bajau Laut before , he is indeed nice and kind 👍 warm welcoming by the people and the kids full of curiosity 🤣 they live a simple life and look happy 👍 I think one of the lady asked you to take off your mask maybe she wanted to see your handsome face 😅 and another guy said 'hati-hati' means to be careful then I heard a kid says 'mintak duit..mintak duit' he said 'ask for some money' , hahahha...so cute 🤣
And as always you are kind enough to pay the boat guy extra 👍 awesome vlog this time , we get to see the water village of Bajau Laut thanks Ken great job 👍🥰
badjao they are actually nice,friendly and peaceful people
Good job and nice content
Will be interesting to ask him why he comes to Sabah from Philippines, Mat SALLEH is a Sabah acclaimed warrior who fought against the colonist.
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.
Good Vlog 👍
Wow! He is so nice to bring you to his house and offers you drink and goreng pisang.
its a dialect in Sulu by the Badjao's.. and its one of the languages of the Philippines 🇵🇭
Yay done claiming.
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.
@@joey3080 for Malaysia's sake joey, don't clutter your ignorance in the digital world .
@@janopole Im speaking facts and im locals who is living here where this video is recorded. Everyone here speak Bahasa (Sabahan).
@@janopole Also correct your understanding, this is experience factual not ignorance. Also why do pnoys always slow in this digital world, just because someone share the culture doesnt mean you can claim it. North korea cant claim the sovereign of south Korea although they have same culture, China cant force to overtake Taiwan just bcuz they r chinese. Same goes to other nations. BOBO
I’m a american citizen but my blood is a pilipino, i’m proud to that tourist guide who said he is pilipino. I’ve had seen that sabah when i’m in high school it says in my history that sabah is a part of the Philippines. Thank you sir Ken for visiting sabah and now we saw how sabah looks like with a pilipino living there. God bless you and be safe.
Very timely video for the Philippines
I love your content broo
The cost will be shared if you travel in a group as the fare is fairly expensive. For about RM60, I can enter three islands.
