A Bajau Laut woman, with two sons in tow, arrives at a jetty
with her catch of fresh slipper lobsters and stingray. She negotiates with
a cook and sells each lobster for RM8. She manages to sell three lobsters.

The negotiation process.
The Bajau Laut are a sea-faring group of people who navigate their way in waters off the east coast of Sabah and southern Philippines. This Bajau Laut woman had just caught slipper lobsters and stingray, and sold some of her catch to a budget dive centre in Mabul Island, just 20 minutes away by boat from world renowned Sipadan Island.
She seemed content after selling her catch, and paddled away.
