After 2 times of failures to visit “Kampong Orang Asli”, we at last were success to visit them at our third attempt. We doing this in order to complete our immersion project to study the culture of people and we choose Orang Asli as our target because we think that Orang Asli is unique people.

The day was epic! Hahaha.. That is our first time enters the village of Orang Asli where we need to go deep in the jungle. ‘deep’ la sgt~.. Actually, our early plan is just to visit museum Orang Asli but the museum is under maintenance. So we decide to go further to the village of “Temuan”, one of Orang Asli's tribe. The road to the village was a bit challenges where we need to ride about 12 km to reach to our destination. Then we need to pass jungle before we finally found the village.

Beware of the dog

Im a big fat dog.. woff woff

There are lots of dogs around the village and we have been chased by dogs when we try to enter the compound of Tok Batin’s house. However, dogs are just dogs and we manage to enter the compound safely. Berlagak~

Tok Batin of Temuan’s ethnic that we meet named Ulang. Ulang anak Simpang. He is the only person in the village that still live in Orang Asli’s traditional house. He shares with us lots of stories about his family and his ancestor. He also shares with us about the culture of their people such as their traditional dance which is Sewang dance, 'kata ganti nama' like 'oi' for his wife and 'mae' for his daughter. Moreover, he also gives us some useful tips but we can't share with others. Hahaha!
