    Data kakus is nice place to live in. Kampung Data Kakus is so secluded in the dense rainforest and it is probably one of the secluded places in Malaysia that it is out of reach from the outside world. It is still very much in touch with the tradition and the folks are not very reliant on technology like most people are nowadays. Kampung Data Kakus is a village rarely visited by Malaysians, let alone the foreigners. | The route to Kpg. Data Kakus | Kampong Data Kakus located almost at the center of the land of the state of Sarawak. It lays on a mountainous terrain surrounded by the wilds. It is reachable by road from Bintulu town within 4 hours and within 2 hours from Belaga bazaar. The road condition is rather rough and only those 4WD vehicles would be able to make it through. | The folks | The village is inhabited by the ethnic Kenyah Badeng, one of the indigenous ethnic community living in the state of Sarawak. To date, the population of this humble and outback village has reached about 2,000 people (unofficial statistics). The ethnic Kenyah Badeng belongs to the parent ethnic group Kenyah in Sarawak. Among other sub-group are Kenyah Bakung, Kenyah Baram, Kenyah Lepo’ Tau, Kenyah Long Bulan, Kenyah Lepo’ Kulit, Kenyah Long Beta-o and there are few more which I could not recall at this point of time. These different Kenyahs are believed to be scattered all over the state, mostly at the central and northern part of Sarawak. Although they speak different dialect, however they are still able to understand and converse in the other Kenyah’s dialect easily. | The culture, tradition and lifestyle | The kenyah Badeng live a very basic lifestyle. They take rice for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. They live in wooden long houses (except few families prefer having stand-alone houses) and almost all the houses has veranda. On to their religion, you must be astonished by their strong Christian faith and that they are devoted Christian. Advertorial: Visitors and tourist are warmly welcomed to visit the village and experience for themselves the pleasure of living in the midst of the tribe Kenyah Badeng, the nature and the wilds.

    This website was developed to virtually bring the indigenous Kenyah Badeng of Data Kakus community closer to the outside world. For many years, the Kenyah Badeng tribe has been living in the most secluded place on earth, in the dense rainforest in Borneo island. The world totally wasn't has any idea about the existence of this indigenous people of Borneo. However, with the power of information technology and the international network (internet) engine, amazingly this is not the case anymore! Being a Kenyah Badeng myself, I am so grateful that I managed to publish this website intended for the showcasing of the beauty of Kenyah Badeng’s friendliness culture, unique tradition and their everyday simple life routines. The Kenyah Badeng tribe is so unique, that despite their primitive and outback way of life, yet they are so education-passionate people. The fact being economically poor never stop them from sending their children to school and they were able to see that education is a must-have basic thing in their life. Today, many of their children managed to secure a place in higher educational institutes, colleges and universities. Those who have graduated are now enjoying a reliable career in both government or private sectors in the country. There are quite a number of Kenyah Badeng now can afford to live in major town (despite the high living cost), they even bought their own houses and driving their own cars. The Kenyah Badeng today have kept abreast with the latest technology fads and are now closing in to the technology race gap.

    Thanks for writing about the Kenyah Badeng.But I would like to make some corrections pertaining to what Mr.Siong Tet had written. 1. The folks are not very reliant on technology like most people nowadays. To me this is belittling the folks as they are now using sorts of simple technology in dealing with their daily activities.Think of it. 2. The world totally has no idea about the existence of this indigenious people of Borneo. This is not true because certains tracks about the Kenyah Badengs had been written in some books like ' The Pagan Tribes Of Borneo' by Charles Hose and W.illliam McDougall and 'The Natural Man Of Borneo' both by William McDougall.Just to name some. In his books, McDougall referred the Kenyah as Keniahs and Badengs as Madangs.So, advisably, it's wise to read some books on history of the Kenyah Badengs before publishing them like this. 3. Kenyah Long Beta-o which you referred to, is a split-away group of Kenyah Badeng who resides in Long Beta'o,Indonesia.Not a different Kenyah. Mr.Siong, I humbly want to correct these facts because I do not want the young generations of our beloved Badeng ethnic to be mislead by what had been written by us.I have read more than a dozen books on the Badeng and am still looking for informations or rather history of our forefathers. My suggestion is, anyone who wants to write about the Badeng nowadays, especially about our culture,our historical background, let it be with proper references and through thorough research.Because, we do not want to confuse our youngsters.And I recommend the books above for further reading. Thank you.

    Pity Boy, Being your fellow Badeng of Data Kakus, I feel very sad over what happen to our poor old parents at home. Some had sold their land for a few thousand ringgit and some unlucky ones sold theirs only for a few hundreds. Why? Because, they are going to move down to town as what had claimed.What had gone wrong? It's relatively pity to see our old folks at home being mislead by someone who claimed themselves to be educated and the champions of the village and later proclaimed themselves to be leaders. It is because of this irresponsible self-claimed leaders, all sorts of this phenomenas happened in our hard-earned land of Lembah Kakus. Groups are formed.Blindfolded followers would form their own strength under their self-claimed leaders. And anything would follow suit. I am very grateful to you Pity Boy, that you do realised what had gone wrong. Someday, in the near future, you young generations would know what to do to preserve the unity that we enjoyed in the early years of our settlement there in Kakus. GOD BLESS THE FOLLOWERS OF UNITY.
