International Aborigines Festival
As for Malaysia Asia, we have been travelling around the country, visiting some of the unique indigenous tribes of Malaysia over the past few years and documenting them for our stories.
There are also over 50 different tribes and sub-tribes found all over Malaysia, so to see them all would be a challenge, but to date, we have seen about half of them, which a majority are found in Sabah Sarawak on Borneo Island.
