Malaysian immigrants: like to live in traditional floating buildings.

Malay: Early housing was closely related to the sea and rivers. For the convenience of fishing, drinking water and transportation, we built a house at the seaside and became a home. The fishing village was built on the water. The so-called streets are just some small bridges connected. In northern Malaysia, you can often see villages where rafters are placed, and there are bamboo houses on large rafts. In the port city of Malaya, there are many people on board, and they have lived on board all their lives.

The traditional residence of Malays is a single-story building called "floating foot building". No matter whether the house is built by the river, in the water, in the field or in the suburbs, it is a high-rise house. The skeleton of the house is made of wooden columns, while the walls, ceiling and floor are made of bamboo boards and wires. The roof is usually tilted on both sides and covered with leaves (there are also boards now). The slope of the roof is steep and long, on the one hand, for the smooth flow of rainwater, on the other hand, to block the bright light in front of the window. The floor is several feet above the ground. It can protect against moisture, snakes and rats. There is a fixed ladder at the door. Visitors must take off their shoes before stepping on them. There are domestic animals such as buffaloes under the house, some of which are similar to the diaojiao building of the Dai people in China. Houses or fishing villages by the sea generally face the sea. In order to prevent the monsoon, the slope of the roof facing the land is extremely steep and very low. According to Malay custom, the door cannot face south, which is said to bring misfortune to the people inside. Along the way, under the shade of trees, such houses occasionally flashed by.

Sanuo Yi people: Sanuo Yi people's villages are generally divided into two types: one is Gaojiaowu village built near the water, which is the most common one nowadays; The other is a village composed of one or several long houses, like the Dayak people in Kalimantan. The innermost room of a longhouse belongs to the chief (the position of the chief is hereditary), and this kind of longhouse is rare. The Chinese and Iranian people who live in deep mountains and forests like to live in Heyuan area. They build houses more casually.

Semang people: Semang people's house is very simple, and it is a shack made of palm leaves. One end of the shed touches the ground and the other end is supported by two or three sticks. Sometimes they put a shed on the tree.

Haidayak: In Sarawak, Haidayak people collectively live in long houses. A longhouse is a longhouse similar to a floating-foot building (tens of meters long or even 200 meters long). There is a passage in the middle of the longhouse, and both sides of the passage are residents.

Ludayak: They live in the Gampengayu Mountain area, 58 kilometers from Kuching, the capital of Sarawak. The "longhouse" where they live is covered with coconut leaves. The floors, beams and columns in the house, especially the elevated stakes, are all made of fine hardwood, and the walls are made of bamboo.
