The Study of Orang Asli by Risyad Iqbal https://padlet.com/risiqbal93/kxpmjohgdnu5 The name "Orang Asli" means "original people" or "first people". Nowadays there about 60.000 Orang Asli people, of which 60% still live in the rain forest. About 40% Orang Asli live along or near the coast. Each has its own language and culture, and perceives itself as different from the others. Linguistically, some of the northern Orang Asli groups speak languages, that suggest a historical link with the indigenous peoples in Burma, Thailand and Indo-China. en-us 2016-11-08 08:54:54 UTC 2025-11-20 20:25:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Diskette.png Orang Asli Cuisine risiqbal93 https://padlet.com/risiqbal93/kxpmjohgdnu5/wish/136022240 Orang Asli Cuisine

All these taboos and rules of behaving are adhered to in indigenous communities simply because the adherents believed in them and in the effects of the wrath and anger of the spirits should they be violated. However, concepts, rules and taboos do more for indigenous society than just ensuring good individual behaviour. 

They lead to practices, processes and institutions through which all in the community participate and determine the economic, political and social mechanisms that distinguish traditional indigenous societies as autonomous and self-determined, as egalitarian and sustainable.

The Orang Asli are mostly self-supporting, practicing shifting cultivation, hunting and fishing. Pregnant women and the children have complicated food taboos such as that they cant eat small rodents such as rabbits. This taboo has cause the Orang Asli community to suffer from the lack of protein that they need.
