I'll help you translate what the scared lady said. 10:50 - Siapa Tu? = Who's there? 11:03 - Saya Takut = I am scared. 12:15 - Kau Penyamun ka? = Are you bandits? 12:20 - Haa, tau pun cakap Melayu = You can speak Malay 12:28 - Owh, Jauh = That's very far. 12:35 - Saya ingat kamu penyamun = I thought you're bandits. 12:43 - Tak boleh = Cannot 12:48 - Bye

[@ken-cb4no]

Love how you guys make the locals happy by offering to pay more money than they want! We're from UK and travelling to Malaysia in a couple of weeks for 54 days! We find your videos so inspiring and fun to watch! Keep up the good work!

[@giannishen]

Happy birthday to Ivana! That rattan bag looks so exquisite, I like it. As a reminder, sugar cane is easier to bite sideways, and not all varieties can be eaten directly, some are made of sugar! The village looks so pristine and the people are friendly, thanks for sharing! 👍😀👏

[@JetLagWarriors]

Thanks so much for the birthday wish🙏

[@giannishen]

@@JetLagWarriors You are most welcome, thanks to you too, you are very nice, take care！👍😃🙏

[@theshah9756]

the basket is 80 ringgit. The hospitality is priceless

[@maaduufan5140]

I remember going to a long house for a healthcare service where we went there for a month & provides health consultations for the people living there. It was the best experience I had in my life. Some of the best & friendliest people I've ever met.

[@chaw294]

That rattan bag is nice and cute, skillfully made by that elderly aunty. Shout-out to Steve by paying her extra even though she said it's RM80. Great experience with the rice wine and flower wine. Love the way they cheer...Oooooooooooooo Ha 🤓 Another great video with so much information and knowledge. Thanks Ken for taking us along the journey again.

[@hplagt6880]

Almost every village has a small grocery shop to cater for the villagers' needs. That is a valuable traditional bag. We call the big one- Juah and the smaller one -Lumok. I being a bidayuh tribe only has one as a souvenir from my late grandmother. Only the older generations like that old grandmother knows how to make it so please keep it properly as it is a treasure. Also hard to find in any souvenir shops. In Sarawak there are still a lot of longhouses along the pan borneo highway. The ibans still live in longhouses. Wow you also bought some tuak.

[@cheekingfoo2133]

The sarawak is a wonderful place ...n thank u for introducing our homeland to the world..welcome to sarawak..sir

[@danadeejay7763]

You will find more traditional Iban longhouse along the Rajang River from Sibu to Kapit. Also you can find the longest Kayan longhouse at Sg. Asap e.g. Uma Belor Homestay

Ken, you are a GREAT ambassador for Malaysia

[@jonmath4182]

@ 9:00 I strongly advise that you guys don't roam around in the jungle or even a plantation like that, especially without a local to accompany you, not primarily because of some misunderstanding that you may have like what you had there with the terrified lady, but more because there had been cases where someone got shot by someone else (someone else being own friend, and even own husband, true story, not made up!) because the someone was thought to be a wild animal moving about behind the trees and bushes, like a wild boar 🐗 etc. So stay safe guys!

[@Ladyzuely]

Hope they read this. This is so terrifiying

[@josweet2__110]

real incidences indeed! take care, guys!

[@deeanis77]

Strongly agree with you and we don't do that if we were in their country.

He looks like a baby chewing on Farley's Rusk

[@SSxxx18]

@@KenAbroad they tricked u. The right way, use a knife to strip the tough surface. Cut the sift inside into sticks. Chew the stick to get the sweet juice out. It's a treat for us kids long ago.

[@imjuzsayin..5017]

They asked Ken to eat from inside. U can peels off the skin using teeth.

[@chaw294]

During my younger years, l ate sugarcane just like Mike did..no knife, used one's strong teeth to peel off the skin, then bit, chewed and sucked the juice...😄

[@chaw294]

Yeah, weather is damn hot and humid too over here in Peninsula Malaysia. Do drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Awesome adventure with Steve to that "jungle" where there are sugar cane plants and young oil palm trees. That local lady is scared of you guys, thinking you both are bandits/robbers. Words used by her "takut" = scare, "penyamun" = bandit, "tak boleh" = cannot... Anyway, there's a wave from her finally. 😂

[@vivienliewleewen8474]

The little carrier made of rattan is nice and neat . Good buy and make the old lady happy 😊

[@noblepll2824]

awesome guys! You guys are really gentleman. Bargain up and made the old lady happy ,respect

[@cyclonmaster]

I recommend you go to kampung Sapit. A village above clouds. There is a Malindo 144 peak...very nice view up there. Btw, the lady is asking 'who are you...I'm afraid'...maybe she thought you guys foreigners who crossing the border illegally...the village is near the border anyway...hahaha

[@BeyfighterFaris]

Just now I went to the stall with the uncle selling interesting oils and mentioned how you showed him in the video. He remembered. So I will be buying a massage oil from him as well tomorrow

[@aren3130]

Hope you guys can visit Org Ulu long house while you are in Miri later.If you visit Mulu National Park you will find Org Ulu longhouses along the river nearby that National Park.You can ask the tourist guide to bring you to visit the long house.Org Ulu is one of Sarawak native like Iban and Bidayuh.The food and culture is a bit different from Iban and Bidayuh but we are all Sarawak Native.You can find Org Ulu Long houses along Baram river in Miri division as well.Org Ulu is consist of ethnic from Kenyah,Kayan,kelabit,Penan,Lumbawang and Bisaya tribe.You can travel by 4W D or long boat to reach Org Ulu longhouses but nowadays most of them are using 4WD.

Hai ken..if all of you reach bintulu, and if you want to see hornbill closer about 2 meter close..just go tu Taman Tumbina Bintulu..its a zoo, a small zoo..there you will be able to see protected animals in sarawak…especially hornbill…

[@jenna650]

Then, from Bintulu you can reach the Orang Ulu community in Sungai Asap and Belaga town. You can visit 1. Uma Belun Leo Dian, the longest longhouse in Malaysia (U&I Homestay) 2. Explore the hidden paradise in Bakun Lake (Busang Denak Resort/Mebong Cove Villa/Peh Floating house) 3.

Am a bit late, but I made it here. Keep safe guys. She said, 'Siapa itu? (Who is that?). ' Saya takut' (I'm afraid).

[@alfredcls6177]

This is a really good vlog. I never knew they still keep the skulls until now. That's mind blowing.

[@zawawimohd6351]

Back then, the more skulls you kept in a longhouse, the more respect you earn. They still keeping it as part of ritual, one of it is for Gawai, a harvest festival..

[@bungaialoevera]

We still keep 5 in our longhouse (paternal). There used to be more but they were either given a traditional burial or given to the museum. Some longhouses certainly still have them.

[@chaw294]

Hello and good evening Ken and all. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.

When you are in Bintulu, do visit Tanjung Batu beach especially on weekends, the atmosphere is very lively. Not fogetting Bintulu old airport & waterfront too. Have a safe & pleasant road trip🙏🏻 By the way, if you wanna see longest longhouse, you can go to Uma Belor Leo Dian Kayan longhouse, Sg Asap.

Ken for your information sarawak black pepper is the best in the world many countries import for their supplies

[@zaharizak]

The headhunters basically love to hunt warriors... Jetlag Warriors would be a good bounty... 😜😜🤣🤣🤣

[@switchback4312]

None. But don't upset the locals in the rest of the Borneo island. You know already Borneo island is divided into 3 different countries.

[@lynnooi9184]

Happy Birthday, Ivana.

[@ckolinug]

You can find long house in the Indonesian part of Borneo/Kalimantan. It's the traditional house of the Dayak people.

[@switchback4312]

Doubt you can find any. It's more like the modern terraced houses. Or wooden stilt house by itself.

[@AlexSDU]

@@switchback4312 I'm sure you can find the authentic one if you go far deeper into the central Borneo/Kalimantan.

Part of the experience, getting lost in the middle of nowhere.... "Beer Plus"... Steve the joker.... ...And yup, Exploring long Houses & villages. Nice gesture to buy a nice handmade container, no doubt the money will help the local community. Stay safe & watch out for another. Cheers!!

[@tillkoschig1963]

nice video once again Ken,I would have loved to try that beer you bought.So what is your next destination Ken? Greets from Phuket,Till

[@stanian2]

Not sure its a good idea walking through land when you do not know who owns it, someone may try to protect it from you. The girl was scared. I think the Tuak you tried is a commercial product, traditional Tuak would not be quite so clear. It is very good though. The Anna Rais Bidayu longhouse is a more touristy type of longhouse. Longhouses are usually rated or described by the number of doors. A visit to a real longhouse needs the permission of the head man, we had a 1 hour longboat ride and a walk through the rainforest, when we visited an Iban longhouse. You need to take gifts for the people, like cigarettesfor the adults and sweets for the children. We have done that in the past, fired the poison blowpipe and the short bow. It was very special.

[@90goroi]

Such a hard work just to make this craftwork.Your guys offer nice deal.

[@nasigorengtomyam7452]

the lady working in the orchard say saya takut which means im afraid and then she also said a word penyamun which means robber or crook. so she is afraid of being robbed in the middle of nowhere😆

[@veegee84]

Long time ago 'penyamun' used to kidnap and cut people head for the foundation of bridges and buildings.... Village people are very scared of 'penyamun'

[@AbGrey]

If in Sabah, the beer selling is rm10.00 for 3 cans. I mean used to be that price, not sure now. That is why, it is called "sepuluh tiga" 😃

[@imangarrix5904]

Sarawak tiga sepuluh🤭

[@twkl2024]

At last…….tiada masalah!

[@judyoh9008]

At 10:50, the lady in the sugar cane field asked 'Siapa tu?" or the short form of "Siapa itu?", which means, "Who is that?" Very interesting trip to the long house, and Steve bought some tuak.

[@bungaialoevera]

Steve is starting to have a taste for tuak now. 😂

[@haihai6350]

Omg..ken i want to see you and your friend drink beer ..please make video 😄

[@badreehisyam8555]

We have different variaties of tuak. Sugarcane tuak. Rice tuak. Rozel Tuak. Dragonfruit tuak. Should try some of all.

[@jialatdotcomdotsg4998]

You guys should travel to one of the islands near Sabah by boat, then you’ll see kids who build their own tiny boat using their hands to paddle. Bring some sweets and candy’s for them. Or snacks.. They’re island people who don’t have money and Malaysian Identification. Good thing is the water there is crystal blue.

[@Ladyzuely]

Anai Rais long house in Jalan Borneo Highland......it is my fren’s parent longhouse. I think the only Bidayuh longhouse in Jalan Puncak Borneo, if not mistaken. In second, third divisions of Sarawak will have more old and modern Iban long houses.

Time 10:58 "Siapa tu" - The native women in the field yelling: Siapa (i)tu ?/Who's that ? (Who are you?). Time 11:05 Native women: Saya takut/I'm afraid (scared/frightened) ..... Ken: Saya dari Jerman/ I'm from Germany, Native women: Oh, jauh !/Oh, that's far way!. ...... Ken: Can we come? Reply: Take boleh/Cannot. Ken & Steve: Tiada masalah (tidak ada masalah)/No problem/ 🇹🇭 Mai pen rai 😁. Time 13:22 How to eat sugarcane - Ken, you keep bitting on the hard outer layer or the skin of the sugarcane although Ivana keep trying to tell you what's wrong. I don’t think a City boy like you, Ken can learn the art of eating sugarcane like a Kampong boy 🤣. It is a 3 steps process. The idea is take a small bite at the open end, while holding in your teeth, pull away what you have bite. Firstly you need to remove the hard skin before start chewing on the soft sweet white sugarcane inside fresh to squeeze out the sweet and refreshing juice. Don't swallow but discard the dried pulp by spitting them out.

[@aku_budak_jahat]

siapa itu means who are you,the thing is people at the boarder area always worried if they encounter illegal boarder crossing might bring some illegal item
