Why am I important? Photo: Emily Ruran staring down a prized possession in the BaKelalan Highlands. The buffalo is used as a form of dowry in a Lun Bawang wedding, the size of it will determine the worth of the dowry. In monetary term, basically, one is worth about RM3,000. There can be as many as 30 buffaloes asked for but in modern times, two is an acceptable starting number. Now you know why it is important. :-) #BaKelalan #SarawakHighlands #LunBawang #culture #heritage #visitmalaysia #visitsarawak #vmy2014 #AwesomeSarawak #Adventure #mountains #valleys #landscape #buffaloes #wedding #dowry #irau #igtravel #igtravel #igmalaysia #igermalaysia #instatravel #instamalaysia by sarawaktravel
