In Search of an Orang Asli

Orang Aslis, the Malaysian ancestors are nowadays one of the important key figures tthose who bringing in the tourists from all over world to the deep rain forests ( Taman Negara ) of Malaysia. These people who were seperated from the rest of the population by means of modernization,are now starting to fill the gap by migrating into the greater cities,improving the education levels,and showing more interest in more advanced job markets-including ,but not only-in the fields like Medicine,Engineering,computing.
However several people decided to stay as usual-inside the forests looking for honey,roots,and kills with their world famous methods of hunting using the Blow Pipe and darts.Small animals are hunted using poisonous darts forcefully blowed out through the Blow pipe.

An Orang Asli man

Though,now it is very rare to see them in their native old dresses,few sightings can be made if we travel inside the rain forests of Cameron Highland ( Mountain ranges in Malaysia ) and Taman Negra ( Low land Rain forests of Malaysia ).
This pictures was taken while im travelling to cameron highlands.It was a dream came true for me to witness an Orang Asli in his native dresses.He happily posed for few shots and demonstrated how to use the Blow Pipe.It was such fantastic,that i couldn't stop buying a set for me,when i saw few darts and pipes for sale along the way.Still in perfect condition,and im still trying to beat my personal record of blowing out the dart to 15 meters far straight to the center of the target.An awsome yet ,Highly Lethal Killing Machine !
