Ethnics Profile
Your Journey to The Warm Heart of Borneo Starts here...

Sabah’s population is heterogeneous and culturally diverse, with

more than 30 different ethnic races and over 80 local dialects spoken.

Traditions and customs have long been part of our daily lives.

Most of it has survived for eons; others have barely endured,

touched by other influences that have led others yet to be

forgotten altogether.








Well known as the Land Below The Wind

and also Land Of The Sacred Mountain,

Sabah is a land of varied landscapes and natural

wonders. One will normally ask what kinds

of people live in this land of eco-treasures?

Often by further understanding our spectrum

of cultures, you will find the answer as all types, colours and creeds.

All these ethnic groups live together harmoniously while at the same

time preserving their own culture, traditions, festivals and customs to

make Sabah a multiculturally exotic experience unlike any other

that you might have already experienced.

Like the rest of the Southeast Asian archipelago,

Sabah has been culturally affected by the powerful

external, continental influences from mainland Asia.

However the heterogeneous population often

dramatically reveals its well-preserved wonderful

customs and practices. Though the country modernizes,

and certain rituals and special ceremonial occasions are

less frequently performed, one can still experience and

observe Sabah’s rich tapestry of custom in the local

population’s daily life as well as their special local festivals.

This segment will take you through a virtual experience in

getting to know Sabah through the understanding of our

traditional musical instruments, costume and ethnic lifestyle.

The interactive on-line video streaming featuring Sabah –

Malaysian Borneo in general will give you an insight of our

unique customs and a special section on the wonderful sounds

of Borneo will captivate your heart and soul.

Come to Sabah and let us show you the way to indulge yourself

in our most precious custom and shower you with endless

affection in our very own unique Sabahan way.
