Özet:

 

This paper focuses on the livelihood subsistence strategies used by group of
 Research object who moved from Brunei to Malaysia in the early 19th century.
 This study seeks to answer two key questions. First, what type of livelihood
 subsistence strategies that are used by this group to survive? Second, how the
 livelihood subsistence strategies influenced and form new type of social and
 economic stratifications in the group that are considered as ‘egalitarians’. Using
 ethnographic techniques, data in this study were collected from in-depth
 interviews and participation observation which took 18 months to complete. The
 study found that there is a slight change in the aspect of subsistence strategy
 which is due to market forces and the virtues of capitalism. This community has
 diversified subsistence to balance the pressure of market forces. The study also
 revealed that factors such as income and property ownership have developed
 social and economic stratification into several classes based on source of income
 and ownership of production. Objective criteria such as income, and sources of
 primary production such as land, make it critical value in this society.
 Competition for means of production has created conflict of ownership and thus
 sparks competition in other aspects such as the position and power. This explains
 that in a small community social and economic stratification exists and their
 competition for limited resources make them diversifies their livelihood systems.
