Abstract

According to the philosophical view of the Bajau people, the values inherited from their ancestors which are maintained in their socio-cultural belief still constitute their supernatural strength, which is still referred to when they conceptualize and express their lives, the essence of their lives, objectives, orientation, knowledge and their interpretation of the cosmos. It is their local genius which has enabled them to survive and grow in the sea which is full of challenges. As their creative reply to numerous problems faced to make both ends meet, they have developed a social network termed as rarambangah, in which a number of people, who have the same objective to alleviate their living burden by helping, trusting and accepting each other, develop a social network.
