my first time experience with the ORANG ASLI BATEK

the kids.

the Batek woman.

baby playing on his mother's leg

mother teasing her son and finally smiling for camera

the demonstration of kindling fire by the chief of the village

the Tok Batin demonstrating a "menyumpit" activity

during the trip to Pahang, we did not miss the opportunity to visit the perkampungan orang asli located nearby the taman negara. I was amazed at how their lifestyle is and even imagine how the orang asli must have felt whenever people would come to their territory and captured pics after pics and felt how interrupted their privacy was. the Batek people are shy, they don't really speak Malay language and they live in huts like most orang asli tribe does. above are some pictures that i managed to capture even the subject matter shows a lot of hesitation and shyness.
