The traditional craft of boat building is passed down from generation to generation. 2. A young Bajau Laut boy flies a home-made kite in the stilt village of Bangau-Bangau, Semporna, Sabah. The simple kite is constructed from a plastic bottle, plastic material, bamboo string and a rope. 3. A stunning vista enjoyed by the Bajau Laut who roam the seas. As a result of comprehensive conservation efforts by Sabah Parks authorities, the reefs at Tun Sakaran Marine Park remain pristine, allowing marine life to flourish.
