ABSTRACT The issue of this article is the intercultural marriage among the Sino-Kadazan community that took place before the formation of Malaysia in 1963 in Sabah. Among the challenges faced is that the status of their identity is often disputed. This article also looks at the personality of this community as well as their habits in the family culture such as in the aspects of communication language, beliefs, nutrition and choice of residence. The aim of this study is to answer the question posed that is whether intercultural marriages such as the Sino-Kadazan community will create a harmonious relationship or the existence of problems such as conflicts in cultures? This study uses a qualitative method, which is to conduct in -depth interviews and observations to the homes of five respondents. To further strengthen the data of this study, secondary sources were also used. The location setting is done in several areas around Kota Kinabalu which have Sino-Kadazan ethnicity. The concepts used are to understand the issue in more depth and relate it to the data obtained. This study has shown that society is able to adapt to the existing culture and accept it as their identity. This article is produced to enhance the community's understanding of inter -racial relations through intermarriage or culture, especially in the state of Sabah and in general in Malaysia. The hope for this study is that the gap between cultural differences can be bridged and in turn society will pay more attention to the issue.
