The Faces of First Generation Cocos Community

Most of them are already coming to the age of 80 years old and over and many had passed away. These are the faces of the first generation Cocos Islander Community that came to North Borneo in 1949 up to 1952. They could still tell their stories in Cocos Keeling Islands. They had laid the foundation for the future generation to progress and succeed in this Land Below the Wind called Sabah (formerly North Borneo).

Ingress

The Cocos Islanders are like the Ingress that flies from one place to another in search of food and warmer climate. Lately they can be found in greater numbers particularly when the weather is warmer. The Ingress are always found together with the buffalow, perching on the back of the buffalow or enjoying whatever the buffalows are enjoying, but sometimes they just crowded at the waterfront and on top of stones especially at low tides. The Ingress is a white bird, sometimes there are black or brown Ingress as well and had been depicted in pictures by the Chinese painters.The Ingress are called 'bangau' in Malay. The Ingress has long necks and legs.
