The Orang Sungei ( Malay word for "River People") are a group of indigenous people native to the state of Sabah , Malaysia . Groups of communities live along the rivers of Kinabatangan , Paitan , Labuk , Kudat , Membakut and Lahad Datu. [1] The name "Orang Sungei" is a collective term that was first coined during the colonial British rule for communities living along the Kinabatangan River . [2] In some cases like the Tambanuo people would refer to themselves as Orang Sungei for those who are Muslims; unless if they are not Muslims, then they would identify themselves by their tribal name. [3] Whereas tribes like the Ida'an people are sometimes regarded as part of the Orang Sungei historically because of their common linguistic origins. [4]
