"Sea gypsy" is a term that refers to several groups of peoples living near the sea in various parts of South East Asia. I have run across sea gypsies before in Indonesia and also in the Philippines. The main group of sea gypsies in Sabah are the Badjau who originated in the Philippines. Many Bajau have spread south to Malaysia during the last 50 years.
