| 1st Penan/Bisaya/Saban Beauties as a Finalist Miss Sarawak Ethnic(Org Ulu) 2014 |
The Penan are some of the world's last hunter gatherers, living in the Malaysian state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo.
Until recently most have been nomadic, wandering in small family groups, each with their own, fairly clearly demarcated territory. Some have never travelled more than 20 miles from their birthplace.
With the increased logging activity throughout Sarawak the Penan have lost their traditional way of life and are having to adapt to a settled lifestyle (.http://www.penan.org/)

The Saban/Sa'ban:HistoryThe Sa'ban is the smallest ethnic group in Sarawak with a population of approximately less than 1,000 people.
The Sa'ban are a small people group living in the Punang Kelapangregion in the remote Kelabit Highlands of northeast Sarawak. Long Banga is the main Sa'ban village in the highlands.The Saban (pronounce as Sa'ban), are an indigenous race of Sarawak, Malaysia. It is categorised under the Orang Ulu groups and have a close ties with Kelabit people.
The Sa'ban originally lived in the upper reaches of the Bahau River in east Kalimantan. Migration to Sarawak began around 1900 and continued until the late 1960s.
Despite sharing many cultural similarities with the neighboring Kelabit, the Sa'ban are a distinct people who even today seldom intermarry with outsiders.Historically their warriors were renowned for their bravery and steadfastness in battle. The Sa'ban are an industrious people. A strong desire exists among them to improve their standard of living.
Being an off-shoot of Kelabit tribes, they share a lot of thing in common especially in term of cultures, traditions and customs. Most of Saban people could understand Kelabit language very well, this is because there are similarities in the language itself.
The homeland of SA'BAN is Long Banga, Long Puak (formerly known as Long Ballong) and Long Peluan. (Dayak Tribe of Borneo:SABAN)
