The Last Nomads Of The Sulu Sea
Вставка

- Rilaut kaalumman ta (we dedicate our lives to the sea) - In the mind of the Bajao, borders are the farthest distance they can reach by boat. It always was. Until Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines had established their maritime frontiers. Asli and his stateless family are amidst the last seafarers who refuse to settle outside their picturesque and nourishing scenery.

Claudio Sieber - Ref. 8579
I really enjoyed this video. Sometimes I have to see the person in a wheelchair to realize how good I have it. This is no different, all these people want is to be able to eat and educate their children. There's no difference between us, we all want the same things. It's so sad to see how America 'my country' spends so much on bombs and bullets, yet we never have enough to take care of our own countrymen. The veterans, elderly, mentally ill and homeless people. None are taken care of. A tragedy.
dont name this video Sulu Sea if you're going to show Malaysia the entire time. The Sulu Sea is almost entirely in the Philippines
Amazing documentary. I had no idea about any of this. Thank you!
One thing-it’s really hard to read the writing on the screen around 16:12 !
The Water Village or in Malay we call it "Kampung Air" in Semporna is a gradual way of adaptation for the Bajaus from nomadic lifestyle to a more sedentary one. Modernity and modern nation state requires a form of sedentism for its people including the Bajaus in Semporna, Sabah.
"Semporna" in Malay language means "Perfect".
Sabah is a perfect example of a very complex region in Malaysia. In fact the most complex in terms of culture, religion, language, ethnicities as well as politics. There're more than hundreds of ethnic groups and sub ethnic groups as well as languages spoken in Sabah. The lingua franca for such diverse communities is Sabahan Malay or Bahasa Melayu Sabah.
But the most complex of all is the political aspect of Sabah. With diverse ethnicities, religious affiliation and language spoken plus a very porous border with Philippines and Indonesia as well as a high number of migrants and stateless people in Sabah, it makes Sabah a very complicated region to administer.
Most of the early migrants and stateless people in Sabah are from the Philippines. Many settled in Sabah since 1970s when separatist war between Muslims in Southern Philippines with Philippines Government broke out. The separatist war in Southern Phillipines had displaced many ordinary people from their home and villages. Many seek refuge in Sabah during that period of war turmoil in Southern Philippines including the Bajaus.
The later migrations in the 1980s are due to the economic problems and underdevelopment in Southern Philippines as an effect of long separatist war in their region.
So, there are some form of latent tensions between the local indigenous Sabahan with the migrant and stateless community in Sabah.
I sincerely hope the Federal Government of Malaysia and the State Government of Sabah could find amicable, fair and humane solutions to some of the issues and problems that are arised due to high numbers of migrants and stateless people in Sabah.
I loved the scenes from Bangau Bangau. The audio was brilliantly paired with visuals.
I hope Westerners leave them alone
That'll never happen, America will try to force some lies about democracy, when in fact all they want to do is steal and oppress you. I know, I'm an American and I'm embarrassed to admit it.
Sulu is a very beautiful archipelago in far south of the Philippines. Rich natural environment and historical cultures.
In a way, I envy them. They have nothing to worry about except their livelihood and living in a beautiful paradise. Modern people have everything they need but not contented and greedy and self-centered. I hope the Malaysian government let them stay.
left philippine waters after decades of damaging overfishing.. coral reefs distroyed, indiscriminately catching endangered sea species... malaysia is next... they just want to survive and live anyway...
Most of them couldnt live on land because they feel dizzy when they touch the ground..
Beautifull documentary. Thank you so much 👍👍😀😀
Remarkable work. Highest congratulations!
This area will be empty of fish soon enough. All they could catch was small trash fish.
Its over.
So you want them to stop eating? Westerners are clueless of the life outside their bubble 🤦♂️.
Wow What do they do in stormy weather
There is no storm over there
@@mrj475 never ever ?
It's christmas now, they do caroling.
Cebuano si Asli ! I herd him speak ; Maga Ano Kita , mag usahay ! We Must Be One ! He went with a bajau woman .. from Cebu back to suLu
They left sulu sea with a devastating effects to ecology from overfishing for decades to survive... Malaysia is next..
So, what's your solution?
Well done!
I am confused, I am a FILIPINO and SULU SEA is part of the Philippines....The title is SULU sea or should this be MALAYSIA sea?hehehe
Sulu Sea also borders Malaysia. It's right between Palawan, Sabah, Tawi-tawi and Sulu.
Is it Lost or Last?
they were not the last but lost because they were premitive nomads... however there is a new sophisticated nomads now in Phillipines waters... the communist chinese encroachers in west philippine seas... 👹
Those reefs are already completely bare from overfishing. There should be clouds of fish on those reefs
So, what's your solution?
Deutsche Übersetzung?
What happens to the waste water and sewage from this many houses , does it go directly under the homes into the seawater?
I'm filipino... they almost exploited all the reefs and other natural sea habitats around them including endangered fish spicies and corals, they left our country to explore more in the south for their survival... weather disruption is a minor issue...
What do you think?
They also now do christmas caroling for extra income.
You are the best you are the last
❤🎄🙏🌟
This kind of living contributes to the polution of water and fish.
How about you? How do you contribute to the pollution of the planet?
