INTRODUCTION
A tear-drop shaped coral atoll in the centre of the Indian Ocean, an
opal in a sea of deepest blue, a tiny 14 sq km of land  truly, just a
drop in the ocean.
A diary entry by Pauline Bunce on her first
arrival at Cocos, 26th January 1982.
 The Cocos Islands today gives little hint of their colourful past, their human
dramas and tragedies or the different rulers who controlled them.
 From 1st settlement in 1826 by English merchant Alexander Hare, then,
under the Clunies-Ross dynasty, most island inhabitants had little freedom
or contact with the outside world.
 After several years, in order to find a better life, the Cocoss people started
to emigrate to other places i.e. West Australia, Singapore, Malaya, North
Borneo .
RESEARCH BACKGROUND
 The islanders life were controlled by the
ruler (Clunies Ross dynasty).
 Up until the 1950s, the houses were
constructed with local building materials.
Currently, it was developed based on the family
living pattern and community desires
 In 1950s, the first community of the
Cocoss people, emigrated to North Borneo and
built their settlements in Tawau.
 Along with them, they brought their unique
culture.
 The origin and history of this minor ethnic
remain unclear in the history.
 Thus, the focus of this study is to
investigate the journey of Cocos Malays from
Cocos (Keeling) Island to Sabah and how does
the culture affiliation influencing their current
dwelling culture.

- Dwelling (Persian language): A place for getting tranquility and residence, and it is
called to a place which a human lives in it. (Shadab Shidfar, 2013)
- Dwelling compound is a built environment which is customarily enclosed by a wall or
a hedge. (Oliver, 1997).
- Culture: The societal customs, myth, ideas and values of the people.
(Livin H. Mosha, 2012).
- Dwelling culture is a set of knowledge embedded in the process of living
phenomenon with an affiliation of cultural and socio-economic involvements for a
particular society. (Livin H. Mosha, 2012).
- A part of common culture is only a framework for scientific research, a method to
analyze the elements that compile it, useful and successful method to study identity
of housing architecture. (Igor Kalcic)
PROBLEM STATEMENTS
 The lack of research on the dwelling culture of Cocos Malays in
Sabah after the emigration from Cocos (Keeling) Island.
 There is a gap on understanding the Cocos Malays journey from
Cocos (Keeling) Island to North Borneo and the cultural affiliation
impact on their current dwelling culture.
Pauline Bunce (1988) has discussed:
1. History has recorded much about the founder, Alexander Hare and the
settlement by Clunies Ross family.
2. A very little cultural practices and traditions have been recorded - either
now or in the past.
3. Housing design has recently changed throughout the years.
4. Elements of English-Scottish have been absorbed into Cocos Malays
cultural practices. (Asmah Hj. Omar, 2008)
