		But the native politicians, from the indigenous Muslim tribes like the Muslim Melanaus, Bruneians, Muslim Kadazan-Dusuns and Muslim Bajaus have gradually altered their own political system to amass power at the expense of the sizeable (a majority in Sarawak only) Christian tribes such as the Ibans, Bidayuhs, Kayans, Kenyahs, Penans, Kelabits, Muruts and Christian Kadazan-Dusuns.
