What is really striking about the Malaysian people is the enormous feeling of community and a sense of belonging to a huge, unique family. For two years, I have been working and living with the Bajau Laut, former sea gypsies, who originated in the Philippines and have now settled in Malaysia. I run a dive resort, and the staff is mostly made up of the Bajau people who have settled in the area. The Bajau boys never cease to amaze me, and always leave a lasting impression.
