So last weekend, my four friends and i went on a road trip to this Orang Asli village in Slim River. Our friend, Brandan used to work with this guy Abang Adi and he invited us to his village because its the fruits season.
Two hours and a sore butt later, we reached this village right in the middle of an oil palm estate. I would say that it's a modern village and the community wasn't big. Only a few houses. Some are Muslims, some are Christians, some Buddhist, some Pagans but they lived in the same village.
So we feast on durians and rambutans. And i discovered that we, the natives people have so much in common. We might look different, speak different languages but we share a lot of similarities. Things we eat, things we do. They have this little hut they built outside the house for evening lepak session. Just like in our village!
Had a really nice chat with Abg Adi's wife and we were talking about how we must preserve and teach our children our mother tongue.
