KINIGUIDE | The Bajau Laut, known to many for their nomadic lifestyle in Sabah’s coastal edges, is again making news headlines following several incidents involving the community.

Earlier in June, media reported that authorities allegedly evicted Bajau Laut and destroyed their stilt homes in the Tun Sakaran Marine Park (TSMP) in Semporna.
