Orang Asli
The term "Orang Asli" refers to the indigenous peoples of Malaysia. They are the original inhabitants of the region, with a rich cultural heritage and diverse languages. The Orang Asli are divided into three main groups: the Negrito, the Senoi, and the Proto-Malay, each with distinct traditions and lifestyles.
Traditionally, the Orang Asli have relied on hunting, gathering, and agriculture for their livelihoods. They often live in small communities within the forests and have a deep connection to their natural environment. In recent years, they have faced challenges related to land rights and modernization, impacting their way of life.
