To the people of Sulu archipelago, the search for knowledge and their steadfast holding to tradition and heritage is as salient as their selfhood and identity. Known in the Southeast Asian maritime society as “People of the Current” or Tau Sug, the Sulus are also written down in historical narratives and archival literature as ahlus suluk or “people of the path” whose life aspiration as a people is often described to be in the perennial journey for (divine) truth and (mystical) knowledge. The seafaring and maritime trading lifeways of the Sulus is a tradition that is deeply connected to their philosophy called Mukali (ancestral traditions), a comprehensive epistemic and spiritual system that is a common ancient heritage of Southeast Asian Islamized societies, and Sulu’s local spirituality is called Pagtuhan or consciousness of God-Essence. In the course of European colonial expansionist encroachment into Southeast Asia, this rich tradition and ancestral heritage became disavowed and were lost and forgotten. It is only in folksongs, floating literature and oral traditions that traces of this intangible heritage can be found and reclaimed. Believing that traditionally spoken and sung narratives and floating-literature are living remnants bearing the indelible marks of Sulu indigenous spirituality and are important repository of the collective memory and communal knowledge, this presentation, initiates an inventory of spoken narratives and sung traditions among people of Sulu Archipelago. Featuring the narrative of Lumpang Basih based on the documentation and research of Dr. Benhar Jambangan Tahil (2012), this will enumerate salient concepts and historical markers in an attempt to identify aesthetic and philosophical beginnings and ends as well as basic explanations found extant in living tradition and spirituality that have persisted throughout the five centuries of intermittent wars and resistance against colonialism.

PRESERVATION OF MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGY AND UNDERWATER CULTURAL HERITAGE IN MALAYSIA: A REVIEW PEMELIHARAAN ARKEOLOGI MARITIM DAN WARISAN BUDAYA BAWAH AIR DI MALAYSIA: SEBUAH ULASANMaritime archaeology and underwater cultural heritage are crucial for revealing a valuable collection of historical, and cultural importance submerged beneath Malaysia's coastal waters. This paper comprehensively reviews the preservation efforts concerning Malaysia's maritime archaeology and underwater cultural heritage. Malaysia has a vast coastline and a significant historical background in the maritime trade, resulting in a wide range of submerged archaeological sites dating back several centuries. Furthermore, the paper discusses the terms of maritime archaeology and underwater cultural heritage, the element of the term underwater cultural heritage, the law in Malaysia related to underwater cultural heritage, and the process of excavation of shipwrecks also artifacts in Malaysia's Waters. This review seeks to educate policymakers, academicians, researchers, and heritage practitioners about the significance of conserving Malaysia's maritime archaeology and underwater cultural heritage by combining the existing research and practical experiences. It promotes increased awareness, funding, and coordinated actions to protect these invaluable connections to Malaysia's maritime history for future generations.

The current re-emergence of global maritime activity has sparked initiative from various nations in re-examining their socio-political and cultural position of the region. Often this self-reflection would involve the digging of the deeper origin and preceding past of a nation from historical references and various cultural heritage materials. From this, realisation of the pattern in maintaining an empire or enterprise from the immediate ancestral society could be turned into a model or benchmark in developing the present and future planning of the nation. In the context of Islamic civilisation development along the Indo-Pacific seaboard the Omani and Malay nations are the two integral entities that had assumed their central role as seafarers, traders, rulers, and travellers in maintaining the dynamics of the region and this happened as early as the Islamic period of the 9th and 10th century CE up till 16th and 19th century when series of European colonial infiltration disrupted grea...
