Orang Suku Laut ethnicity and acculturation

A Malay teacher: The sea tribe people in this Malay area do not know any religion. They also do not know how to socialize, and do not have any kind of customs. They are extremely backward, very dirty [...] they smell like fish, their body is scaly [...] they are disgusting. They do not want to live in houses [...] they are born in their boats, eat, sleep, obey the call of nature in the boats [...] and do not have any feeling of shame. Where there is fish, there they go. Their everyday principle is only to eat and to drink. They always avoid mingling with us, the Malays, and they do not want to become too familiar with us. We, ourselves, are afraid just to approach them [...] they like to use magic powers against people, therefore we must be careful not to make any mistakes. Otherwise, their magic will get us. They can make us ill or we must follow them. This aboriginal lifestyle, whether willingly or not, has to vanish totally [...] if not, in the course of time we all shall become backward/ (28 December 1989
