Abstract:
The Kajang peoples of Belaga District currently form ten communities, totalling some 3,500 people. The core group includes the Lahanan, the Kejaman and the Sekapan who are commonly regarded as the original settlers of the region. Although these three groups speak distinct languages, they appear to have a common origin (Cense and Uhlenbeck 1958: 35-36). Other groups commonly linked with the Kajang include the Punan Bah, Sihan and Bah Mali, but these links appear to have a political rather than a cultural basis1 (Rousseau 1974:18).
