    Batek of Malaysia

    The Batek share a very unique culture which resides far in forest of Malaysis. They are a foraging society and live their lives as nomads. They live in camps of five or more nuclear families. The encampment is comprised of about 12 huts, each that are rectangular in plain and raised stilts. They raise their huts in order to keep a bit of air flow below their huts. The huts are made of hardwood branches lashed together. Walls are simply bamboo hammered flat and held in place by 2 sticks. The women of the Batek weave the roof out of leaves removed from plant spines. The men build all of the huts. They generally have control over the land surrounding their encampment but considering the fact that the Batek does not believe in landownership, they are considered the “caretakers” rather than the “owners” of the land. Once the useable resources from the wild plant have been depleted they move to another spot within their habitat. This demonstrates their nomadic lifestyle.…

    Malaysia and the Original People

    Neglecting aboriginal groups has been a common theme in the past when considering the advancement of developing countries. The United States had little to no regard for the Native Americans when developing a new nation. And now as Malaysia is a quickly developing country, we can see the effects of this development on its natives. Some of the world's leading anthropologists who have been studying the "original people" of Malaysia for twenty-five years, have successfully written an in-depth explanation of the political struggle involving the Malaysian government and the Orang Asli's. The oppression of non-represented ethnicities is the main conflict in this case study of Malaysia, entitled Malaysia and the "Original People". The authors have produced a work that not only examines the group itself but also the past, present, and future of all social classes that reside within the countries borders. The book exceeded all expectations in the quantity as well as quality of information pertaining to the Orang Asli's. Although there was little expression of the opinions of the actual tribes, the book was affected little due to the outstanding structure and content of the book.…

    Culture of Malaysia

    Malaysia is a one of the multi cultural country. Cultures have been meeting and mixing in Malaysia since the very beginning of its history. More than fifteen hundred years ago a Malay kingdom in Bujang Valley welcomed traders from China and India. Malaysia's cultural mosaic is marked by many different cultures, but several in particular have had especially lasting influence on the country. Chief among these is the ancient Malay culture, and the cultures of Malaysia's two most prominent trading partners throughout history--the Chinese, and the Indians. These three groups are joined by a dizzying array of indigenous tribes, many of which live in the forests and coastal areas of Borneo. Although each of these cultures has vigorously maintained its traditions and community structures, they have also blended together to create contemporary Malaysia's uniquely diverse heritage.…
