Happy Harvest Festival for our friends in Sabah and Sarawak!🌾🍻 Watch day 1 (First impressions of the Kaamatan Harvest Festival) here: th-cam.com/video/WHh4dMw5Ctw/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching! Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe👍❤️
my best bro steve & my best sis ivana you both are looking awesome waiting for my documents from chinese university share thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries germans & russians of love from your best bro viki 💙🐥
@@ukchub6633 Please don’t comment negatively before you know the actual history. The Tadau Kaamatan festival first started at the Sabah/North Borneo state level in 1956, even before Sabah was a part of Malaysia (Sabah joined to form Malaysia later in 1963). The 1st state level Sabah/North Borneo Unduk Ngadau was held in 1960. So no, this Tadau Kaamatan or Pesta Kaamatan isn’t just made up for tourism, but a yearly celebration for all the indigenous tribes of Sabah (mainly KDMR) to come together & be thankful for a good harvest. Eventually in years to come, this celebration welcomed anyone from anywhere around the world to come and be part of the thanksgiving. Even if there were no tourists at all, the Pesta Kaamatan will continue as usual because it’s original & main purpose is for us, the people of Sabah to never forget our roots, traditions, traditional clothes, food & our languages, no matter how modern the world gets.
@@ukchub6633 I’m surprised that you as a half Iban seem not to know about the Sarawakian culture & traditions, which is still very well preserved right until this day & that Hari Gawai & Pesta Kaamatan celebrations are definitely NOT “just made up” for tourism.
Thanks to you cuz making this video. Us from Sarawak and Sabah welcoming you to out nations. Sarawak and Sabah is the only country with the most interesting stuff that should be visits such as Long House, Grand Old Lady, and etc. Glad to have you here dude!!
Yes, u guys r definitely right, Borneo (Sabah & Sarawak) is definitely not d same as in d peninsular Malaysia. That's what diversity is all about in this beautiful country. Really look forward to watching your video later. TQ.
Ppl in peninsular used to live like that before the governing politicians used race and religion to get support, control the people, divide and rule. Gone are the days when my dad bring me to kopitiam sit down wit malay and indian patrons each eating our own food but all drinking kopi from the same chinese kopitiam
Sabah and Sarawak have more than 30 different ethnicity can unite together yet peninsular just have 3 can't blended together. Nothing much can help when many influencer like politician playing with races & religions cards.
U guys are right.. Sabah n Sarawak are quite diffence when its come to ethnics, religion, food, culture, language.. And so on.. Enjoi ur trip in KK, Steve n Ivana... Another great video... 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I truly hope you Steve and Ivana had a great time here in Sabah, Land Below the Wind. Our culture and mind set are different. We're truly multicultural both Sabah and Sarawak.
I am proud sabahan, and I don't drink tapai/tuak/ or any alcohol. I have had some bad experiences with drunk people here, i mean extremely bad. Sorry my fellow sabahan, but its not for me and my family. lots of part I skipped. btw my Ranau district representative got third place. congrates!
This is one of your best videos yet. You guys seem to be having so much fun! It was great to see...... Heard the Rainforest music festival will be on at Kuching, Sarawak the week after. You should head there to party on! It's one of the top annual music festivals in the world.......
Sabah is indeed wonderful. Can't wait for Steve and Ivana to explore Sarawak. Lots happening soon, Rainforest Music Festival, Kuching Festival... I hope you are coming soon.
What a super fun day you both had, Steve lvana...such great atmosphere where all the Sabahans get together to enjoy this Keaamatan Festival. So knowledgeable and entertaining to watch this video. Thanks a ton for your hard work, Steve lvana. A big shout-out to Flo, the true princess of Papar !! Well done and congrats to Sandakan, the winner and Papar as runner up in the pageant.
Excellent that you've noticed. Unlike Peninsular Malaysia, we here in Borneo are waaaaaaaaaaay more multicultural and tolerant of each other... too bad most vloggers are too focused on Peninsular Malaysia... they dont know what they've been missing....
Hi Steve & Ivana, I'm glad to see both of you having a great time and yes, Borneo (Sabah & Sarawak) is completely different from what you've experienced in Peninsular Malaysia.
i hv go to sarawak during gawai festival but i more like how the KAAMATAN festival vibes in sabah their celebrate the crowded the place the attire music and the ppl more enjoy
Culturally East Malaysia has more flavour due to the many ethnicity. However put aside the festival, people on every corner will live thier ordinary lives peacefully. Peace is what we strive to have and must not take it for granted. With peace people all around the world can enjoy our diversity. Peace be upon you.
malaysia right now is technically 3 kingdom, peninsular, sabah and sarawak. sabah and sarawak are more open when it comes to culture, religion and language
Come to kuching sarawak for the Rainforest World Music Festival will begin on 17 June to 19 June with daytime music workshops, cultural displays, craft displays, food stalls, ..evening concerts.. lots of funs..
Wow this is amazing! Although I have been to Sabah and Sarawak but this Keamatan is really excellent! I would definitely visit Sabah and Sarawak again in the future.
Yeah the Festival was great! We really recommend it. Everything is so accessible and the people are very friendly. It’s like an experience where you’re learning a lot but you don’t even realize it because you feel so engaged and fun 👍
When will you guys came to Sarawak? Make sure you came before the Rainforest World Festival this 17th till 19th June. This is the most waited festival that being held in Sarawak. I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Clearly you two were having blast for 2-days straight. in some area in Sabah they'll partied till morning. Tbh you can never find this kind of party in west Malaysia. The unity of tribes, religion, people more genuine. Come back next year
same to Ari Gawai in Swak...drink till u cant find your way home...technically people jz sleep on the street...ha..ha.. Langkau crazily 99% pure alcohol...
Next, u can join Rainforest World Music Festival in Kuching at Sarawak Cultural Village from 17 - 19 June 2022 & Borneo Jazz in Miri at Coco Cobana from 24-26 June 2022. 😄😄 Dont forget buy the tickets on line.
Time 5:58 Hot water - Ice or 😱 Hot water? It has been a long time ago since I last hearing people calling out "hot water" when moving goods in the crowds, it is an old trick to ask the crowd to give way because you are carrying "☠️dangerous hot water"🤣.
8:02 Basically an unlimited supply of Tapai drink. 🤣🤣🤣 14:01 Kinda reminded me of watching Miss World Pageant live telecast when I was a kid back in the 80's, where it's very late at night here while in US it was daytime. And now you guys get to experience that feeling too. 😄
Hey Man, just saw you and Ivana at KDCA Penampang Kota Kinabalu. Welcome to my homeland dude, Land below the Wind✌️ from Keningaurian✌️. Has followed you channel from last past Covid restriction in Malaysia.... Very sorry wasn't say hello to you bcoz was to drunk🙏 did you ever taste our local wine😜✌️.. Aramaitie/Tagay. Half Sabahan/Half Pinoy here 🤟 Just comment before the video finish😅. Yaaaa man tapai/lihing/tumpung are the best😅.
Guys if u are still in kota kinabalu should try nasi goreng cheese i believe its one dish you can only find in sabah and something to experience, the shop is located at plaza tg aru on the 1st (i.e above ground floor) the shop name is coffee & friends and its facing the street
Are you guys going to the World Rainforest Music Festival June 17-19 2022 in Kuching in Sarawak? You’ll see Sarawak is also very different from either Sabah or the peninsula.
Celebration and competition - every culture has it. Because of climate, more expressive celebration of harvest. Rather than Ironman, strength, farming competitions or State fairs here beauty & culture is celebrated. Like every culture, there is celebration of the efforts of sowing, planting & harvesting. However, native alcohol features heavily - good or bad !
Sabah and Sarawak are definitely different from Peninsula Malaysia! 😁 I cant help but feeling like correcting you, Borneo is an island, in it, 3 countries : Malaysia (Sarawak & Sabah), Negara Brunei Darussalam & Indonesia (Kalimantan). 😁
Betul tu, saya masa mula2 study di Sabah dulu juga culture shock...dan paling shock ialah TIME SHOCK sebab pukul 6 ptg dah gelap macam mlm 🤣 yg paling best bulan Ramadhan buka puasa pkl 6.20 p.m 😆😆
Hi...thank you for coming to Sabah...the land below the wind...we are definitely different in many ways😁😁😁...kotobian tadau Kaamatan to all 😘😘😘Aramai tiiiiii....
A unique blend of traditional & modern atmosphere! We might be different in many ways but we are one as Malaysians. Hope you guys have a great time in Sabah. Love from Kuala Lumpur.. ❤❤🤗
@@nutzhazel Sure, as that may be true, what im saying is, the divide between races is the result of the racial politics that is being practise in west malaysia.
@@kingkong6729 It's the people themselves who wants the division isn't it? Each major races wants their own schools and curriculum, religions and places of worship, cultural practices, food centres, even housing areas. Can you imagine if other minor races in Malaysia are enforced to use a standard Malay personal name in the name of unity just like how Indonesia been doing, there will be an uproar! Total chaos! Civil wars even! Lol even to put all kids together in one school already opposed by Chinese and Indians, and you want to blame it on the government? And what is it with the minority races here in Peninsular hating the religion of Islam? Did they not know that Tanah Melayu or Malaysia had been Muslim land for centuries when they immigrate here??? Are they too hateful deep in their heart to easily fall into the western medias Islamophobic propaganda? That's why there's division.
@@JetLagWarriors The Gawai festivities is still on. Stay overnight at one of the Iban longhouse. Next will be the RWMF 2022 and end with a road trip from Kuching to Miri. You would have covered the whole of Sarawak and witnessed/experienced Unity in Diversity.
The UN used to starts at 2pm until 7pm lol.. minimum 5 hours. It reminds me of telenovelas. Some are really pretty but if they cannot speak the native language properly then chance of winning is low
Steve, more info about the pageant in Sarawak. Keling (for men) & Kumang (for women) Gawai is initially an Iban event but it has now include other Dayak ethnics as well. At state level, it is divided into three categories - Iban, Bidayuh and Orang Ulu. Eg.: th-cam.com/video/8C8zVTkPUDQ/w-d-xo.html
Oh thanks for the info! Now that we know more about the Sabahan ethnic groups, we need to learn about the Sarawakian ethnics. Like is Iban a Dayak tribe? Or a completely different tribe? Is Iban the largest ethnic group in Sarawak? We can’t wait to learn more !
@@JetLagWarriors Dayak tribe is the selective umbrella term for native of Sarawak, also used in Indonesia but referring to whole native tribes of Kalimantan (Borneo). Iban, aka Dayak Laut (Sea Dayak), is the largest tribe, 45% of Sarawak demographic. Bidayuh, aka Dayak Darat (Land Dayak), is the second largest native tribe, 9.4%. And now we come to Orang Ulu (Upriver People) with 8.9%, which also an umbrella term for 27 smaller tribe, from which they share the same mandolin-like cultural instrument called Sape (Sa-Peh). They are also exist others like Sarawak Malay (15% of Sarawak), Melanau (6%, mostly resided in Mukah), Kedayan, Tagal, Punan Bah and Salako-Lara. Also existed is Javanese and Bugis community which originated from Indonesia, and Suluk people which may originated from Sabah or Philippines. Not forgotten is our oriental friend of Chinese (14%) which mainly consist of Hakka, Foochow, Hokkien, Fujian, Teochew and others (sorry, I forgot the names), the Indians (about 4,500 people), and the Eurasians which migrated here in recent years.
@@JetLagWarriors, the term “Dayak” has been adopted as the name of the indigenous of Borneo. Sarawak has about 27 Dayak ethnics while Sabah has about 35. The racial component of Sabah & Sarawak are generally Dayak, Chinese & Malay as compared to Malay, Chinese and Indians in West M’sia. If Indians are small in number in Sabah, they’re far lesser in Sarawak. That is why Sarawak gov. decided not to give Deepavali a public holiday (but Good Friday is a public holiday in both since 2/3 of Christians in M’sia resides there). The Indonesian side - Kalimantan - has roughly a couple of hundreds of Dayak ethnics. You both should do Kalimantan one day. 😀
Why beauty pageants at a harvest festival? If you think about it - you always have a Fair Queen at all the summer County and State Fairs in the US... 😁 I've heard beauty pageants are also very popular in the Philippines.
The Unduk Ngadau is historically tied to thanksgiving for the year's paddy harvest. Only in recent years Unduk Ngadau was made the main highlight to promote the culture and language among youths
It may be coincidence, but traditionally in England there have been "May Fairs" to mark the late Spring and the early Summer. There was also the crowning of the May Queen, a young woman, who led the procession to commence the fun and games, such as the Maypole dancing, juggling, acrobatics and suchlike. In fact Mayfair in London was the place where London's May Fair took place. I think many of the better people looked down on it because of its rowdiness and closed it down. And then built expensive houses there, which are still there. Coincidental that Kaamatan is also in May? Europe's harvest festivals are in September/October ... after summer.
@@gerardfernon3339, the Sabah’s Unduk Ngadau is more than just a beauty pageant. There is a pagan story behind it. In recent years it has been promoted to keep our cultural heritage alive. It’s already sad that our languages are endangered… which is why the Harvest festival is an important platform for that purpose especially when many would come home for family gatherings. The pageant is focused on cultural and lingual literacy.
@@gerardfernon3339 Kaamatan is based on the paddy planting season in Sabah.. The people plant the paddy a few months before and harvest around April or mid-April because this is the hottest season. Harvesting by hand will take 1 to 2 weeks and everyone will take part somehow. By the end of it, it will be then celebrated as Kaaamatan. The celebration is multi level... at the small village level or a few villages join together to celebrate. Then there's also the district level and now we have the state level.
I guess the reason behind the beauty pageants is; could it be during the old-time, harvest season would also be an auspicious month where warriors select their maiden for weddings?
Done subscribe bro😁...next time, when you have a free time... please go to Tambunan🤣there are many brand of tumpung and the people ni Tambunan is very good in drink this alcohol 😆😆😆
this is what makes Malaysia unique, each states is different with its culture, ethnicity, language. oh ya , Steve & Ivana, if you guys plan to visit Sandakan, please ask the locals there to show you a special dessert only available in Sandakan (so far I never seen people selling the dessrrt elsewhere). You both surely will laugh once you know the dessert's name : BULLSHIT.
Malaysia Truely Asia. All Asia culture you can see at Malaysia.... Arabs, Indians, Chienese, Malay, SEA Local Tribes. All you can see All in One at Malaysia. Maybe after this you can join Chenese New Year and Deepavaly..
Happy Harvest Festival for our friends in Sabah and Sarawak!🌾🍻

Steve, more info about the pageant in Sarawak.
Keling (for men) & Kumang (for women) Gawai is initially an Iban event but it has now include other Dayak ethnics as well. At state level, it is divided into three categories - Iban, Bidayuh and Orang Ulu.
Eg.: th-cam.com/video/8C8zVTkPUDQ/w-d-xo.html
Oh thanks for the info!
Now that we know more about the Sabahan ethnic groups, we need to learn about the Sarawakian ethnics. Like is Iban a Dayak tribe? Or a completely different tribe? Is Iban the largest ethnic group in Sarawak? We can’t wait to learn more !
@@JetLagWarriors Dayak tribe is the selective umbrella term for native of Sarawak, also used in Indonesia but referring to whole native tribes of Kalimantan (Borneo). Iban, aka Dayak Laut (Sea Dayak), is the largest tribe, 45% of Sarawak demographic. Bidayuh, aka Dayak Darat (Land Dayak), is the second largest native tribe, 9.4%. And now we come to Orang Ulu (Upriver People) with 8.9%, which also an umbrella term for 27 smaller tribe, from which they share the same mandolin-like cultural instrument called Sape (Sa-Peh).
They are also exist others like Sarawak Malay (15% of Sarawak), Melanau (6%, mostly resided in Mukah), Kedayan, Tagal, Punan Bah and Salako-Lara. Also existed is Javanese and Bugis community which originated from Indonesia, and Suluk people which may originated from Sabah or Philippines.
Not forgotten is our oriental friend of Chinese (14%) which mainly consist of Hakka, Foochow, Hokkien, Fujian, Teochew and others (sorry, I forgot the names), the Indians (about 4,500 people), and the Eurasians which migrated here in recent years.
@@synnell88 Thank you so much for the info👍
@@JetLagWarriors, the term “Dayak” has been adopted as the name of the indigenous of Borneo. Sarawak has about 27 Dayak ethnics while Sabah has about 35. The racial component of Sabah & Sarawak are generally Dayak, Chinese & Malay as compared to Malay, Chinese and Indians in West M’sia. If Indians are small in number in Sabah, they’re far lesser in Sarawak. That is why Sarawak gov. decided not to give Deepavali a public holiday (but Good Friday is a public holiday in both since 2/3 of Christians in M’sia resides there).
The Indonesian side - Kalimantan - has roughly a couple of hundreds of Dayak ethnics. You both should do Kalimantan one day. 😀
By the way, @@JetLagWarriors… are you both planning to get tattoos? 😆
Why beauty pageants at a harvest festival? If you think about it - you always have a Fair Queen at all the summer County and State Fairs in the US... 😁 I've heard beauty pageants are also very popular in the Philippines.
The Unduk Ngadau is historically tied to thanksgiving for the year's paddy harvest. Only in recent years Unduk Ngadau was made the main highlight to promote the culture and language among youths
There is a story behind it. Not just on purpose
It may be coincidence, but traditionally in England there have been "May Fairs" to mark the late Spring and the early Summer. There was also the crowning of the May Queen, a young woman, who led the procession to commence the fun and games, such as the Maypole dancing, juggling, acrobatics and suchlike. In fact Mayfair in London was the place where London's May Fair took place. I think many of the better people looked down on it because of its rowdiness and closed it down. And then built expensive houses there, which are still there.
Coincidental that Kaamatan is also in May? Europe's harvest festivals are in September/October ... after summer.
@@gerardfernon3339, the Sabah’s Unduk Ngadau is more than just a beauty pageant. There is a pagan story behind it. In recent years it has been promoted to keep our cultural heritage alive. It’s already sad that our languages are endangered… which is why the Harvest festival is an important platform for that purpose especially when many would come home for family gatherings. The pageant is focused on cultural and lingual literacy.
@@gerardfernon3339 Kaamatan is based on the paddy planting season in Sabah.. The people plant the paddy a few months before and harvest around April or mid-April because this is the hottest season. Harvesting by hand will take 1 to 2 weeks and everyone will take part somehow. By the end of it, it will be then celebrated as Kaaamatan. The celebration is multi level... at the small village level or a few villages join together to celebrate. Then there's also the district level and now we have the state level.
glad both of you have a good time here...hopefully next year youll come again.....good time yeah...aramai tiii
I guess the reason behind the beauty pageants is; could it be during the old-time, harvest season would also be an auspicious month where warriors select their maiden for weddings?
yup.. one part of that...
