Malaysian Aboriginals

The Malay term Orang Asli means original people or the sons of the soil. In Malaysia, there are few places where you can visit them by paying entrance tickets. Well, to me these places look so artificial to the point where everyone seems to be "working their part of life". 
Luckily, I had a chance to visit orang aslis in their natural habitat in Kampung Tongkah in Morib. The path leading to this place was so narrow and we nearly missed it.

As we entered, barefooted kids scattered and hid themselves. Then we saw something interesting...

Now, I couldn't talk to them directly because my Malay is only good for pasar malam shopping! My friend helped me by talking to them in Malay, but even she had difficulty in understanding their dialect. We managed to learn that this is their worship place. They believe in ancestral spirits and ghosts. Perhaps, we had really seen an Animist temple!
Since this settlement was near the seashore, their staple food was fish.
There were several huts, but they use it only to put their clothes and do some basic cooking. The floor was bare without any furniture or other household items...

Look at this small thatched shanty...

This is their drawing room or rest house...and the only sign of civilization is this colorful bicycle.
