This is a provisional PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. Rethinking visions of 'unity' and 'belonging': Insights into audience responses towards popular music of Malaysia's indigenous ethnic communities-A case of Iban pop song. Please cite this article as: Collin Jerome, Ting Su-Hie and EstherJohn Perry. The study has implications for future research as it highlights the necessity of acknowledging that the popular musical genre of the indigenous community can bring people together and feel closer to their home country. The results also showed that the Biar Bekikis Bulu Betis song made the Sarawakian proud of their origin. The findings revealed that the participants asserted that Biar Bekikis Bulu Betis instills pride because it is synonymous with various occasions.

Through a public perception survey, the study gathered the views of 82 respondents from the Southern, Central and Northern regions of Sarawak on the famous Iban pop song, Biar Bekikis Bulu Betis by Andrewson Ngalai in terms of how it helped create ideas about unity and belonging among Sarawakians. The study presented in this paper set out to examine this by focusing on the role that Iban pop songs played for that reason. Although numerous studies have examined this phenomenon, very little research has been conducted about the role of local indigenous popular music in communicating a sense of connectedness and inclusion among Malaysians from diverse backgrounds. Malaysia is a unique case where local mainstream popular music has expressed a collective sense of unity and belonging among its multiethnic citizens and communities. Popular music has been known to convey a sense of togetherness and affiliation among diverse populations in multiethnic and multicultural nations.
