Abstract

Artikel ini mengupas tentang sejarah asal usul Iranun dan Balangingi di kawasan Tungku, Lahad Datu. Kedua-dua suku kaum ini merupakan antara suku kaum yang sebahagian besarnya terlibat dengan aktiviti ekonomi berasaskan kelautan. Terdapat juga sebahagian suku kaum ini yang terlibat dalam menjalankan aktiviti kegiatan pelanunan di kawasan Asia Tenggara. Kegiatan pelanunan telah dikaitkan dengan suku kaum ini disebabkan kemahiran pelayaran. Budaya cara hidup suku kaum ini khususnya yang menjalankan aktiviti pelanunan dan penculikan hamba di sepanjang perairan Kepulauan Borneo telah menyebabkan mereka telah ditakuti oleh para pelayar. Kajian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif iaitu temu bual selain sumber rujukan dan akhbar dan buku. Hasil kajian awal mendapati kedudukan geografi menjadi salah satu pemangkin kehadiran mereka di kawasan Tungku, Lahad Datu.

 

The paper discusses about Iranun and Balangingi are sea tribes that carry out marine economic activities, especially fishing activities in Southeast Asia. Piracy activities have been associated with this tribe due to their sailing skills, especially in searching for slaves. The way of life of this tribe has become a culture to carry out fishing activities along this area of the Borneo archipelago. Records of these two races were found in Tungku, Lahad Datu due to its close geographical position in the Sulu archipelago. There are two main seas that surround the area of Tungku, Lahad Datu, namely the Sulu and Sulawesi seas. This study uses qualitative methods which are interviews, newspapers and books. This study was conducted to highlight the origins of Iranun and Balangingi in Tungku, Lahad Datu. The results of the preliminary study found that the geographical position was one of the catalysts for their presence in the Tungku area, Lahad Datu. The importance of this study is to detect the existence of Iranun and Balangingi in the area of Teluk Darvel which is Tungku. Tungku was the main settlement area that was carried out as a trade link during the era of Syarif Usman, Teluk Marudu.
